teeth

My skin crackes and the sun came in
It was as fragile as my lips

Shaken and shut
I needed staples in my hips

And I needed arms

But the open air was limbless
And my nervous breath was endless

If only it would stop
And I needed arms
But the open air was limbless
And my nervous breath was endless
If only it would stop

The neat snap of bone
It was hollowed by your stone

The hot crush of home
It was a subtle lapse your a heart a map
Of where your veins go
And I needed arms

But the open air was limbless
And my nervous breath was endless
If only it would stop
And I needed arms

But the open air was limbless
And my nervous breath was endless
If only it would stop

When your teeth collapsed you made me catch them
Blood in hands and on your halo

The heart was hatched in early hours
We moved to land and watched it grow old

Lock your teeth into me
Tangle up your spine
Nails in your quiver
I had aches in my jaw line

Lock your teeth into me
Tangle up your spine
Nails in your quiver
I had aches in my jaw line
In my jaw line
