The Japanese House - Teeth

I'm a steel-boned and iron-blooded creep
I'm a tongue-flooded mouth and I cannot speak
I'm the scars upon your knees
I'm the scrapes allowing your skin to breathe
I could be anything

And it was so brief
A kick in the teeth
Oil and powdered lungs
Because I know how to breathe
And it was so brief
I want more time for luck
And then I go again

You're the movements in my sleep
You are the words I couldn't keep
I saw the fumes and watched them seep
Into the wounds you bare to bleed
I could lose everything

And it was so brief
A kick in the teeth
Oil and powdered lungs
Because I know how to breathe
And it was so brief
I want more time for luck
And then I go again
