Vicious Teeth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Complicate all the things you say What tiny lives each of our lies must lead As we disapprove of us entirely Disguise away the ways in which we're incomplete [Verse 2] And cover them in encouraging Insincerities, and use our routines To increase the revenue, get the kids ready for school Rise with the sun and leave our secrets sleeping in [Pre-Chorus 1] And this is how we live This is how we live [Verse 3] Orchestrate all the things you say So all the neighbors see you scream out publicly Teach the local kids that the arithmetic Of attention and affection goes like this [Pre-Chorus 2] "We'll take what we can get." [Chorus] I can't take it Awaken the needful things that we've created We're separated Awaiting the evil things our tiny cages no longer can contain [Bridge] The fuel that leaks from our machine Shopping and therapy and modern economics Floods the local scene in And reckless chemistry, all so we can sleep [Chorus] I can't take it Awaken the needful things that we've created We're separated Awaiting the evil things our tiny cages no longer can contain The vicious teeth of our mistakes [Outro] This is how we dream Yeah, this is how we dream
