teeth

You sink your teeth in and get straight to my heart

Back with the wild things and covered in bite marks

And all of the mountains have seen you before

Follow your feet then, looking for more

But I run while you're sleeping

Take off down the street

But I'm back when you're teething

I'm the one you need

You're in there speaking while I'm outside

And they let you in, but I never knew why

Staring at the ceiling feeling strangely fine

Your face when you're sleeping has never looked right

But, hey, I left you today

'Cause I had to

Couldn't take the pain

You will always haunt me

Your beauty

Do you feel the same?

Burrow down to the core of the earth into the flames

You sink your teeth in

So we're never apart

And you hold on so that nothing will ever be enough

This place just smells of your sweat

And I don't think I'm ready yet

So write your name on my chest

And let sleeping dogs die

But I run while you're sleeping

Take off down the street

But I'm back when you're teething

I am what you always need

I'm all that you need

'Cause I'm what you need

I'm what you need

This old house with you curled up in the corner

And I'm out, always out

Trying not to fall off the face of the earth again

Not again

Never again

So get out of my home

Where the sleeping dogs die

And so do I
