Bleeding Teeth

(album: Beneath The Roses - 2023)

Bleeding teeth, they burn like hell
Smiling through it just to tell
You to leave before it hurt
Bleeding teeth, I bite my tongue
Swallow blood into my lungs
I'll be gone before it hurts

Just tell me what you want from me
If I could give you everything that I would, I would
Just tell me what you saw in me
I'm closer than you'd ever think, if we're good, I'm good

I swear that I've changed
Things are different, I'm not the same
Found a god in to help with my pain
Planted roses in front of my grave
If I make it pretty enough, will you stay?

Bleeding teeth, they hunt you down
Turn your wounds into your crown
When you cry, the wolves come out
Bleeding teeth, like porcelain
Take the poison, pour some in
To my mouth and watch me drown

Just tell me what you want from me
If I could give you everything that I would, I would
This anchor tied around my throat
That I can't find a way to float, If you're gone, I'm gone

I swear that I've changed
Things are different, I'm not the same
Found a god in to help with my pain
Planted roses in front of my grave
If I make it pretty enough, will you stay?

Can't you ignore all the scars on my face?
Think of before, show me heavenly grace
Wolves are the canvas, my body's the paint
If I make it pretty enough, will you stay?
