lyrics

I'm the bird in your mouth
Fast heart settling
No harm in a little game
Your teeth round a heavy-lidded pawn.

Drive your fangs to the gum
Patient predator
No pause for the harm you've done
But you'll take your time.
I'm the bird in your mouth.

In this cradle of spires
I feel everything
Sandpaper wave lapping me awake
I don't know how to swim.

So I close my eyes
Let the streetlamp blur
I know what I am now,
You saw it first.
I'm the bird in your mouth.
