Shark Tooth
In my mouth
Rows upon rows
Trying to get out
They make my face bleed
When I'm prone to the tide
They make my arms weak
They hang limp by my sides
It's my tight little noose
Made of barbed wire
It speaks only the truth
When my mind is on fire
Shark tooth
In my mouth
Rows upon rows
Strain to get out
When I get loose
And the tide rolls back
I hang my shark tooth
On a chain around my neck
It's hard to breathe
And difficult to sleep
It cuts into me
But it's a burden I keep
It's a tight noose
But it keeps it all in
I don't lay ground rules
I'd only break them again
It's my shark tooth
And it's the reason I try
Cause when I get to the truth
It makes it all worthwhile
Shark Tooth
In my mouth
Rows upon rows
Trying to get out
They make my face bleed
When I'm prone to the tide
They make my arms weak
They hang limp by my sides
It's my tight little noose
Made of barbed wire
It speaks only the truth
When my world is on fire
Shark tooth
In my mouth
Rows upon rows
Strain to get out
