Swallowed Tooth

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In your drug store makeup Breathing in the smoke of burning hearts In the church of sleep Serving grief 'til everybody dies I know you speak in riddles I know you think the world's your pyro thrill Crosses in your eyes But ain't it strange how the sea is never still [Verse 2] In your congregation Slipping into any skin that fits Everything's just tightening You can't go on but you know you'll never quit See the looming shadows Take a good long look and bid farewell It doesn't mean a thing to me It doesn't matter if we all go straight to Hell [Chorus] Can you feel my hands around your neck While we wait here for our turn I'd even set myself on fire If I get to watch you burn [Verse 3] And we could all stop digging If just for once you could only tell the truth Hidden from the eye Wrapped up in flesh like a swallowed tooth Over towns of widows Fresh blood prescribed for your decline We can see the guillotine Like a tattooed noose along your spine [Chorus] Can you feel my hands around your neck While we wait here for our turn I'd even set myself on fire If I get to watch you burn
