The Teeth Collector

I'm unfolding little scraps of paper

I'm dotting 'I's' and crossing 'T's'

Like a ghost, you were the gardener

That snuck in and planted seedDecay, your words acidic taste

I'm unfolding little scraps of paper

But I'll pluck you like a dead bug from my feetNo more voices on the radio

No more waiting by the telephoneArrows aim to crack rib cages

But your venom's weak in my blood

Your poison scabs, coagulated

Your hardest try is never enoughDecay, your words acidic taste

I'm unfolding little scraps of paper

But I'll pluck you like a dead bug from my feetThe tooth is rotten, yank it out

Your words are cancer in my mouth

This captain's ship is going down
