We fed on honey in our prime Thickened 'round the middle and lost our minds Pecked at the pills that we were served Like gravel to the gizzard of out frayed nerves Poisoned sleep with ugly dreams Of losing teeth Of losing teeth Every mirror cracked and window black Our lungs expand in hot blown glass Stirring to the sounds of white noise s Humming and whining through the snaking wires Shaking our branches in the wind We're losing leaves And we're losing teeth Crying over milk spilled out our eyes Bowing nickel-wound veins with kitchen knives Like the chewed lower lip of Camille Claudel Waiting for her lover at the gates of hell We wagged our tounges and gummed our meat We're losing teeth We're losing teeth Tugging at the roots till our gums bleed Each tooth clattering in the sink Pliers to the corner of a raspberry grin Blood brims our lips, spills past our chin And it's off to bed - we lay our heads We're off to sleep And no more losing teeth
