Teeth

I'm a steel-boned and iron-blooded creep I'm a tongue-flooded mouth and I cannot speak I'm the scars upon your knees I'm the scrapes allowing your skin to breathe I could be anything And it was so brief A kick in the teeth Oil and powdered lungs Because I know how to breathe And it was so brief I want more time for luck And then I go again You're the movements in my sleep You are the words I couldn't keep I saw the fumes and watched them seep Into the wounds you bare to bleed I could lose everything And it was so brief A kick in the teeth Oil and powdered lungs Because I know how to breathe And it was so brief I want more time for luck And then I go again
