lyrics

My teeth bear the weight of my stress and depression
My dentist, he checked them and he recommended
I buy a night guard but that shit's too expensive
So I'll fix my scars
Bar the hate and the tension
Instead of letting it seethe
I need to breathe
I need to breathe
But my lungs have collapsed
And my tongue can't contract
And bend to form the words that accept that I lack
The means to mend this
End this

Not everything is as black and white as it seems
There's a little bit of grey clouding my eyes
I can't dream
The cataracts have left me blind
Vitamin A fades away with sight
I'm malnourished
My molars and my eyes can't flourish no more
A tourist between minds that I've tried out I'm bored
Abhorrent is the time I've spent on the floor
I'm soaring over crimes that I've done to my core
On a torrent formed from smoke and vaporized liquor
Can I endure
even when I'm separate from what's on the floor
What am I besides a bag of flesh to implore
Digesting the same lessons I've heard before
Be it from my friends or my dentist
they'll go heard but ignored

Maybe I'll buy that night guard
Protect my teeth from me
They deserve that at least
They're a means to feed
To nourish this body

My teeth bear the weight of my stress and depression
The grinding will end when I let go of transgressions
That keep me from sleeping the way I was meant to
So I'll fix my scars
Bar the hate and tension
