Fangs

Street signs
I can't read right
But I trust anyway
Lost again
But with friends
We crave uncertainty

Where we go
Doesn't change
More than moments
“Dead end”
"Wrong way”
If you say so

Too loud
We act out
Tattoos to cover up
Laugh at stares
'Til we see castles
In our One Cup

Riding highs into lows
I slip and sway
Can't behave

These fangs are
Always in the way
They rip
And tear
Through my honesty
Stay away from me
I live with
All the different ways
I scare
I bare
My teeth recklessly
Inherently

I can't stand
The small talk
Make a scene
You're one of us
Anywhere's our stage
Last train's
Our nightly tour bus

Phones flash like
Born again fireflies
Spill a drink off the
Fire escape
Sky rise
Smile and wave

These fangs are
Always in the way
Carve through
Harsh truths
Never meant to say
Grin and get away
Sharpened
Every single day
Whetstones
Miss home
Take the edge away
Live another day

Our fangs grow
Another day
Suns down
Feet up
Cans cracked at the meet up

Cheers to another
Railway sunset
Orange cranes
In a city not done yet
Cut a slice of our own
Our fangs grow
