Swallowed Tooth

[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
