With Teeth

(album: Calamity - 2020)

The cops roll up the sirens ring in my ears
I get to the front can't see through all of these tears
It's 4:45 in the morning resorting to secondhand reporting
With the authories I'm in the minority
Not thinking you're the waste of time
This is not a crime, it's the end of a bitter climb
I haven't heard from you in the weeks
But they say the barrel is primed

With teeth they swallowed you
Through your bones they hollowed you
I know there's nothing wrong with you
But still through your bones they hollowed you out

Think about your friends, think about your family
Think about all the things crumbling around me
Don't go into the dark there is nothing there
Complete your story arc now come on don't you dare
Give up on me
Pop gose the firecracker
Societal body snatchers
No sun no light, blurry vision losing sight
I cry out your name as they wrap your broken mangled frame
Was it all a dream? I've never heard you scream like that

With teeth they swallowed you
Through your bones they hollowed you
I know there's nothing wrong with you
But still through your bones they hollowed you out

With teeth they swallowed you
Through your bones they hollowed you
I know there's nothing wrong with you
But still through your bones they hollowed you out

Through your bones they hollowed you out
With teeth they hollowed you out
Give me your hand
It's cold and broken
I'll lie to myself, you'll be fine
