Teeth Out

My baby broke the mirror in the bathroom

She’s been learning that a girl makes her own luck

Take me, take me,

Take me down to find you

They lied to you

They lied to me too

And this room

Keeps on spinning

Like it’s our own

Little world

And the pious

Start sinning

For the good of the rest of us

And I tell you that I need some space

Then I cry when I can’t find your face

Behind the door

Where I saw it before

Teeth out

No other answer

Right now

I don’t have the words

Teeth out

Nothing to shout about

Ain’t it time that we all drew some blood?

Ain’t it time that we all drew some blood for the cause?

My baby took the scissors to her bedroom

She said she cut her hair in protest

But nobody noticed

She said: if I change the way I wear it

Maybe the mirror

Will remember

It’s just glass in a frame

Watching me walk away

And this room

Keeps on spinning

Like it’s our own

Little world

And the pious

Start sinning

For the good of the rest of us

And I tell you that I need some space

Then I cry when I can’t find your face

Behind the door

Where I saw it before

Teeth out

No other answer

Right now

I don’t have the words

Teeth out

Nothing to shout about

Ain’t it time that we all drew some blood?

Ain’t it time that we all drew some blood for the cause?
