Ash in My Teeth

[Verse 1] Cold tile Basement ceiling leaking paint Cheap smile Saying every word you hate Hands shake Coffee Pills And window glare You said "Grow up" I just cut my hair [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From all the bridges we burned last week You keep carving your truth Into the back of my youth If this is growing up Then I’ll grow wrong Scream your name till my throat is gone I’ve got ash in my teeth And it tastes like you (tastes like you) [Verse 2] Back steps Smoke scars on the concrete Deep breath Swallowed everything but me You talk Like a televangelist I choke On every empty promise [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From all the bridges we burned last week You keep carving your truth Into the back of my youth If this is growing up Then I’ll grow wrong Slam the door till the hinges fall I’ve got ash in my teeth And it tastes like you (yeah, it tastes like you) [Bridge] [Beat drops to toms Choked cymbals] Bite down Till the filling cracks Won’t drown In your second-hand facts You pray That I’ll crawl back home I’d rather choke on dust Than die on your throne (hey!) [Chorus] I’ve got ash in my teeth From all the bridges we burned last week You keep carving your truth Into the back of my youth If this is growing up Then I’ll grow wrong Sing it loud like a burning song I’ve got ash in my teeth And I’m spitting you out (spitting you out)
