Cut Yr Teeth

Cheekbones that shine like diamonds
Oh darkness, I am nerveless
Eyes closed for lack of purpose or lack of light
Or fear that I'll lose it
I'm still afraid of the dark
You were my light for so long
Oceans deep and mountains tall
Our future plays tricks on us, huh?

Stories that wreak of fiction
Adorned, written in cursive
You were a catholic school kid
You kept quiet for fear that you'd chose this
Dimples that cut through eyelids
Oh, heartlessness is burden
High lows, for you're uncertain
Of eagerness or fear that you'll lose it
Or fear that you'll lose it
Or fear that you'll lose it
Or fear that you'll lose it

Or fear that you'll lose it

The person you made yourself out to be
Would feel sorry for what you have done to me
Like scrapped sheet metal shaves ivories

You started out slow but you cut your teeth
You cut your teeth

Cheekbones that shine like diamonds
Oh darkness, I am nerveless
Eyes closed for lack of purpose or lack of light
Or fear that I'll lose it

Or fear that I'll lose it
Or fear that I'll lose it
Or fear that I'll lose it
Or fear that I'll lose it

You've never felt sorry at all
You've never felt sorry at all
You've never felt sorry at all
You've never felt sorry at all
The person you made yourself out to be
Would feel sorry for what you have done to me
Like scrapped sheet metal shaves ivories
You started out slow but you cut your teeth
You cut your teeth
