Showing your Teeth

by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

Will you perish with the resting?
I hold my breath, what’s left? What’s left?
You lit my burning down
You lit my burning down

The walls are talking
The halls are stalking
You can’t not listen to the misunderstood silence
And the misinterpreted words like pills
Taking light in the dark
Same words in a breath tear you apart
And drain the full hearted
Breaking brains taking sanity

The wolves were howling
I was down on the floor to feel the solid ground
More than a warm body
Stained with the taste of dread
Maybe it’s all in my head, words unsaid
I couldn’t think of another tomorrow
You lit my burning down

Will you perish with the resting?
I hold my breath, what’s left?
Sticks and stones just as sweet as your harsh tone
You said it with a smile, but you were just showing your teeth
You snarl and I cry I’m trying not to bleed
I’m trying not to bleed
It’s my heart my eyes see with and you can’t deceive
Cause I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve
It’s every part of me
Sticks and stones just as sweet as your harsh tone
From them I called heaven
Sticks and stones
I won’t forget who hands they were thrown
From them I built my underworld

The walls are talking
The halls are stalking
You can’t not listen to the misunderstood silence
And the misinterpreted words like pills
Taking light in the dark
Same words in a breath tear you apart
And drain the full hearted
Breaking brains taking sanity

The wolves were howling
I was down on the floor to feel the solid ground
More than a warm body
Stained with the taste of dread
Maybe it’s all in my head, words unsaid
I couldn’t think of another tomorrow
You lit my burning down

It lives inside, eats at the back of my mind
Reminds me of the time my feelings override, and I can’t speak to lie
Those dreams that taunt in whispers saying what I fear
And it echoes in reflections lost in the mirror

The wolves were howling
I was down and
Sticks and stones just as sweet as your harsh tone
You said it with a smile, but you were just showing your teeth
You snarl and I cry I’m trying not to bleed
I’m trying not to bleed
It’s my heart my eyes see with and you can’t deceive
Cause I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve
It’s every part of me
Sticks and stones just as sweet as your harsh tone
From them I called heaven
Sticks and stones
I won’t forget who hands they were thrown
From them I built my underworld
