Letra de Losing Teeth

We fed on honey in our prime
Thickened around the middle and lost our minds
Pecked at the pills that we were served
Like gravel to the gizzard of our frayed nerves
Poisoned sleep with ugly dreams
We’re losing teeth
Every mirror cracked and window black
Our lungs expand in hot-blown glass
Stirring to the sounds of white noise choirs
Humming and whining through the snaking wires
Shaking our branches in the wind
We’re losing leaves
We’re losing teeth
Crying over milk spilled out our eyes
Bowing nickel-wound veins with kitchen knives
Like the chewed lower lip of Camille Claudel
Waiting for her lover at the gates of hell
We wag our tongues and gum our meat
We’re losing teeth
Tugging at the roots ‘til our gums bleed
Each tooth clattering in the sink
Pliers to the corner of a raspberry grin
Blood brims our lips- spills past our chin
And it’s off to bed
We lay our heads
We’re off to sleep
No more losing teeth
