teeth

You sink your teeth in to get straight to my heart
Back with the wild things and covered in bite marks
And all of the mountains have seen you before
Follow your feet then, looking for more

But I run while you're sleeping
Take off down the street
But I'm back when you're teething
I'm the one you need

You're in there speaking while I'm outside
And they let you in, but I never knew why
Staring at the ceiling feeling strangely fine
Your face when you're sleeping has never looked right

But hey, I left you today
'Cause I heard you couldn't take the pain
You will always haunt me, you're a beauty
Do you feel the same?
Bow down to the core of the earth into the flames

You sink your teeth in, so we're never apart
And you hold on so that nothing will ever be enough
This place just smells of your sweat and I don't think I'm ready yet
So write your name on my chest and let sleeping dogs die

But I run while you're sleeping
Take off down the street
But I'm back when you're teething
I am what you always need
I'm all that you need
'Cause I'm what you need
I'm what you need

This old house with you curled up in the corner
And I'm out, always out
Trying not to fall off the face of the earth again
Not again
Never again
So get out of my home
Where the sleeping dogs die
And so do I
