Pianos Become the Teeth

The back and forth repeat, it's nothing new, And I'm not who I want to be for you, Eager eyes got a funny way of shinning through It's just before the bore and you say, "The bridge looks like it's made with K's," for my name, Shaped just like your right...

Imagine, my drink from your mug Made of tape But what happened, seven thirty one, seven six That made the wretched man And the days, would I miss? It was a Saturday You got your wasting, you got away You've got your path, it's not a maze You've got it...

I'm looking more like you everyday old man, in every way I'm feeling phantom pains from the fire you've dropped on your legs I'm storing my uplifting-look backs for my time in that seat alone in your world, alone in your world just a wall away, angry at th...

Old trains on Haskell in Arcade, sitting silent and strange, I let myself rust, I've shed a lot of water over you, the grass has gotten so flush, I let myself harp too much, I don't feel any closer to you here, I had a thought to make a charcoal trace o...

Too seldom sanguine, Always crying over closed doors You should feel like you should, You should feel like you should adapt well with a wistful heart I could never take it, but I'll give you your breath back Infants and whales still have the holes ther...

Swallow, lose weight, and shake the demons out I kept the little rules and broke the big ones An ugly voice singing of the commons with such an intense hunger The tallest tree with reservations to grow Try to grit your teeth We just chew on the bit Could...

You're laying here with a beds eye view of a body that no longer belongs to you, you're scared that the past 3 haven't lived past their 60's and if you break the trend, you'll just end up like the old folks at Roland and 3939, you're scared because you're an...

There’s no good in your eyes anymore And it makes you want to drive home, drunk and alone Curse the faces in the wheat Drown yourself in the gold because you can’t let it go Makes you almost miss the smell of smoke in your clothes And it makes you want to...

...and I miss home, and I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways And when we are gone, who will keep up the garden? Like a mother calling her boy, I am, I am so unsafe But she can't do it alone but there's nothing stronger than her prayers. Nothing s...

Maybe… Maybe you saw your mother, maybe she’s smiling, She hears your catching laughter, she’s missed your charm, We never made it to Cooperstown But I’ve still got that glove under my bed, Maybe I’ll see you, we could shoot the shit, finally have a be...

I used to listen to my life, I was so put together, I chose what I wanted to be in that age of chasing sand, the age of believing in everything, but I couldn't save you, I couldn't save what was taken away, and i'm still singing, and you still can't stay. You...

I am a bird afraid of heights, I am afraid of everything And for the first time in my life, I can't be alone Through seasons you learn to weather Small pewter statues as reminders Of who we should have been Cold and stoic we will stand To face our trials...

Give her back and give him back to her Her Charlie stayed fenced in on underwood road, she grew old and She forever took off her riding boots You've been handed a year Don't let yourself forget you know the right way Don't leave those dirt trails dead Al...

How our life would be If you had made it, from Elmira to Kansas City But instead you cried the whole way Punching the wheel home And I forget his name But like Billy said You can't be everything you want to be Before your time So slow it down, cause e...

If it's true, here's me telling you, and here's me glad as hell that you'll never know, and ever since I heard, I've cursed her for putting that idea in my head, I wear a stock smile so well, "I'm doing just fine," but what'd you do to make it better? I...

On the day you died, I cut my hair for the funeral and on memorial day, I started drinking because it got kind of hard just sitting there thinking about mom all alone in that house, and i'm too far away to do our lunch dates, she misses the regimen sh...

I woke up not enough awake today, just to take in the smell of the fake red poinsettias, Well, I'm well aware I'm treating life as a way to pass the time It is never an effort to grin, to laugh, but it is laborious to live it like my last See through me, se...

You're about what you're about, let me tell you what I found, you're about what you're about, you can tell me how it sounds, you're about what you're about let me tell you I have my doubts, every word in your mouth always lifted these lashes, every wor...

The first man saw his scope Making lists, he asked "will it look like this tomorrow?" Excuse you, behoove you to live a spiders life and "clean up nice" Placate away, placate away and grow up tame Tonight I saw what I'll never be, Old men walking and the...

You can't see but you're the best at hearing the friends we could be Insipid but still charming the hair off of our tongues, Singing of dying early just to be loved I'm ignoring grasp Decorating your walls with our senses, I'll tease you with a breeze...

How's it stand? What are we? Let that sand flush my cheeks, wear me out, keep me clean, keep me longing, keep that quiet company, wear me out, I heard a voice telling me, like your smoke waving, and my eyes repine, wear me out that wick wont burn a...

Spinning off a dock, shallow water moat Ripple water shine, second day of the stage It wasn't this, been a long time It was but now it's not mine I took them far around the lake And I was okay, we can get the feeling back But to a lifetime, ripple water...

So let's say nothing some more, because this is something more than me, and I got what I need, but sleeping, when I should've been alive, it still gives me sand, but clouds my eyes, I thought about the rust, the quote on the ledge about living on, "th...

So striking, I swear you leveled me with a look, reminded me of my breathing patterns, ran your hands through the grease and set fire to my face, seduced a love to grief and left the same as you came, we were based on an end, it's as if everyone always arriv...

Oh hey, how was your day? I wonder if it will speak through your smile, with an alike jaw, Wonder if they will have the same fire for fauna I have questions hogging my bed, I'm heeding the easy sleeper, The joy bringer in you, the Unclouded Highlights o...

On tuesday I got the call, That damn phone call I’d been bracing for all week. No, don’t say it. I watched her crawl in bed with you, I watched her wet your lips And couldn’t do a God damned thing, I watched you shake, I watched our hearts break, I...

Just sit down, and let it be, if only today, if only for me, that day, what exactly were you selling, preach? It's misery, these screaming dreams, you see, we all gotta get so broken eventually and most shouldn't strut around with such confidence because m...

"You probably don't remember, but I made it a point to anyway," as long as I can, I think you might remember, a tree in Seven Valleys with golden string, a promise we made for every day, and we're taking names, not taking traits, mind you, you are the b...

Who did the decorating? Who hung up your words? And who's not worried what I didn't say? Who did the decorating? What happened to the traces today? When you know you know, well I don't. I'm tied by the way of church keys, missed weddings, I'm tied by th...

One drop was all it took Throwing rocks through ice How is our footing chosen wisely? Do you hunch over? You know my shrug And I can't pass The past if it keeps coming back but We were great We were an awkward handshake with initials etched in your pal...
