Teeth In The Wallpaper

Songtext

[Verse 1] There’s a chair That rocks on its own Cup on the table Still warm But you’re alone Paintings blink When you turn your head Your name scratched soft In the back of the bed [Chorus] Teeth in the wallpaper Biting through the plaster Every crack’s a crooked grin Closing in Closing faster (oh) You can lock every door Nail your shadow to the floor But I already live behind your eyes I’m the shape you can’t ignore [Verse 2] Stairlight hums Like a mouth that prays All your baby photos Now look the other way Clock says three But the hands don’t move Something in the hallway Learned to walk like you [Chorus] Teeth in the wallpaper Biting through the plaster Every crack’s a crooked grin Closing in Closing faster (hey) You can burn every room Choke the house in fumes and soot Still I’m gnawing on the quiet part of you Where your secrets put down roots [Bridge] You feel that? Breath on the back of your thought A fingertip tracing The word “forgot” [Chorus] Teeth in the wallpaper Biting through the plaster Every crack’s a crooked grin Closing in Closing faster (oh yeah) You can scream my name Til your throat turns glass and ash But I write it in your dreams each night And I never have to ask
