Tongues & Teeth by The Crane Wives

I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel

It's all that I can give to you, my dear

And when you come in quick to steal a kiss

My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear


And I know that you mean so well

But I am not a vessel for your good intent

I will only break your pretty things

I will only wring you dry of everything

And if you're fine with that

You can be mine like that



Abandon all your stupid dreams

About the girl I could've been, my dear

'Cause in the night I know burn with

Feelings I cannot return, my dear

Oh, my dear


You've gotta know that this won't last

Your desperation will erase the fact I'm keeping all

Of the answers in my cigarette box

Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops

And if you're blind to that

I am fine with that



Oh, I will ruin you

Oh, I will ruin you

It's a habit

I can't help it


I know that you mean so well

But I am not a vessel for your good intent

I will only break your pretty things

I will only wring you dry of everything

And if you're fine with that

If you're fine with that


I will poision all your happy thoughts

I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box

And if you're blind to that

You can be mine

If you're fine with that

You can be mine
