Lucy’s Gums

מילים

[Verse 1] Lucy came home with the gauze in place Lip all puffy, that stunned-out face Two ice packs and a paper cup Trying to grin, but her mouth sewn up She reached for the vape on the bedside stand Then laughed through the ache with her free cold hand Said, “Damn, I’m bored, but I’ll be okay” While the numbness slowly wore away [Pre-Chorus] Soft jaw, hard day Everything feels far away But the worst part passed And the pain won’t last [Chorus] Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Keep it cool, the worst part comes Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Spit it out, then laugh when you’re done No vape, no bite, no big plans tonight Just soup and a show and you’re back in the light Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums You’ll be fine when the numbness comes [Verse 2] She texted all her friends with a blurry thumbs-up “Bring me applesauce and a plastic cup” Watched the clock drag slow on the wall Then made herself laugh through it all A day or two and the bruises fade The pain gets quiet, the fear gets traded For ice cream spoons and a softer voice For feeling human by choice [Pre-Chorus] Soft jaw, hard day Everything feels far away But the worst part passed And the pain won’t last [Chorus] Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Keep it cool, the worst part comes Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Spit it out, then laugh when you’re done No vape, no bite, no big plans tonight Just soup and a show and you’re back in the light Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums You’ll be fine when the numbness comes [Bridge] Even on the roughest hour You still got some hidden power One more swallow, one more breath You’re not done yet, not by a step [Final Chorus] Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Keep it cool, the worst part comes Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums Spit it out, then laugh when you’re done No vape, no bite, no big plans tonight Just soup and a show and you’re back in the light Lucy’s gums, Lucy’s gums You’ll be fine when the numbness comes
