receding Lyrics

A lifetime worth of dreams where my teeth are falling out

Are finally coming true

Cry me a water tower

Haunted by the things that I've done

I have to believe that I deserve this

Cry me a water tower

Do you enjoy the smell of the inside of a hospital

Or a freshly cleaned hospital gown

Do you like the way it tastes when your teeth begin to fall out

Are your gums bleeding like mine

Cry me a water tower

Use your teeth on me

Like nothing matters

Like my body isn't a barrier

As if you don't even perceive it

My teeth, crumbling in betrayal

My gums melting at the smell of you

My throat closing at the very thought of you

And my lungs, dead.

And what of the tasteful underboob of life

I'm thinking about rot on a microscopic level
