canker sore (12-6-17)

My mouth tastes like blood
I've got a canker sore
It really fucking hurts
Turned from one to more
So, I'll pour a cup of water, add some salt
And swish it through my mouth
(Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish)

You're like a canker sore
You never really leave
Just when I think you're gone
You come right back and attack me
So, I'll make your poison, swallow it down
And, hopefully, that keeps you away for now

Fuck me
Because with every word that I speak you make me cry out in pain
My friends all know that I can't eat and I've gotta try and explain
That it's all because of you
You'll never leave me, will you?

I've got a canker sore
Underneath my tongue
It's always judging me
Been here for months
One day, I'll beat it
One day, I'll defeat it
Because I don't need it
I don't fucking need it
