Teeth Where I Can See Them (Ed.01 New 2026)

+ Show full styles

**[INTRO]**
*(A tiny music-box lullaby. Something scratches softly beneath the bed. Warm synth ambience underneath an uneven, sleepy heartbeat.)*

They told me
not to let you in.

*(soft rustling)*

Come here.

It's cold.

---

**[VERSE 1]**
*(Intimate, almost sleepy vocal. Music box and tiny clicking percussion.)*

They say there's something in my room
They don't like the way it stares
Too many shadows when it moves
Too many teeth to leave it there

But you don't knock things from my hands
You never raise your voice at me
You curl up quietly by the bed
And let me fall asleep

---

**[PRE-CHORUS]**
*(A warped organ enters beneath the lullaby.)*

Maybe I should be afraid
Maybe something's wrong with me
But I've met prettier kinds of danger

You're just easier
to see

---

**[CHORUS]**
*(Deep bass enters beneath lurching drums. The music box melody continues underneath, now distorted.)*

I like your teeth where I can see them
I like knowing when you'll bite
You don't hide behind a smile
Then become something else at night

Let them call you something wicked
Let them tell me I should leave
The things that everybody fears
Are the things that let me sleep

---

**[VERSE 2]**
*(Percussion disappears. Soft toy piano and low creature-like breathing underneath.)*

You never tell me not to worry
While you're sharpening the knife
Never promise you won't hurt me
Then rearrange my little life

Every warning comes with claws out
Every growl means what it means
There's a kindness in a monster
That has never claimed it's clean

---

**[PRE-CHORUS]**
*(Whispered doubles appear behind the lead.)*

Maybe safety isn't softness
Maybe comfort isn't sweet
Maybe sometimes knowing danger

Makes it easier
to sleep

---

**[CHORUS]**

I like your teeth where I can see them
I like knowing when you'll bite
You don't hide behind a smile
Then become something else at night

Let them call you something wicked
Let them tell me I should leave
The things that everybody fears
Are the things that let me sleep

---

**[BRIDGE]**
*(Hard stop. Only music box and exposed vocal remain. The creature breathes softly nearby.)*

They keep asking why I trust you.

*(pause)*

I think that's the wrong question.

I've been frightened by kind voices.
I've been cornered by concern.
I've watched gentle hands grow colder
The moment I stopped being what they wanted.

But you?

*(quiet creak)*

You came with horns.
You came with claws.
You showed me every awful part.

And never once
asked me
to hide mine.

*(The music box winds down.)*

---

**[FINAL CHORUS]**
*(Full dark-pop expansion. Heavy sub-bass, warped calliope, pounding percussion and strangely warm layered vocals.)*

I like your teeth where I can see them
I can sleep beside your bite
You don't need to call yourself an angel
Just to make me think you're right

Let them call us something wicked
Let them whisper, let them leave
Maybe what the whole world calls a monster
Is just honest enough for me

I don't need you to be harmless
I just need to know what's true

And somehow all the things they fear...

feel safer
here
with you

---

**[OUTRO]**
*(The arrangement disappears into the original lullaby. Bedsheets move. A contented creature makes a low rumbling sound.)*

They told me
not to let you in.

*(pause)*

They don't know you.

*(another pause)*

Sleep well.
