Lyrics 187 - Teethgrinder

187

After that first kiss
I could taste the failure on your breath
You turned out to be
Just another name on the list of my regrets
Shut your mouth, your jaw is spilling lies
Blaming me and naming me
You’re dead behind your eyes
Shut your mouth, your jaw is spilling lies
You’re dead behind the eyes
I never had a thing for words
But hands don’t stutter like lips do
Where were you when I needed you?
Everything you’ve touched turned to dust
You left me here so I turned away
All my colors turned to grey
These words stuck in throats
Are arrows of false hope
You’re a waste of flesh
Constricting thighs and begging eyes
I never had a thing for words
But hands don’t stutter like lips do
Where were you when I needed you?
Everything you’ve touched turned to dust
You left me here so I turned away
All my colors turned to grey
I’m stronger than this but you’re dragging me into the abyss
An endless nightmare
Always present but never there
I started to think
There is no voice that could breathe hope into that worthless skin you call home
I’ve come to resent you
Would rather walk this earth alone
From my mind I was you would fade
Reminded of mistakes I’ve once made
Giving in turned into giving up
