Teeth In The Sky (Remix)

[verse 1 - machine-gun delivery] Snap the bones of the ticking clock, Shove the minutes in a padded lock, Pour the rain through a paper gun, Aim at the moon ‘til the daylight’s done. [quick break - cymbal choke] Feast on the headlines, choke on the font, Sell me a dream in a cardboard jaunt, Bury the truth in a candy jar, While the generals pray to a wishing star. [pre-chorus - rising intensity] Iron wings, plastic crown— Flies come up when the sun goes down— [chorus - shouted chant, call/response] Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) We’ll chew the clouds ‘til the colors drain, Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) [verse 2 - slower, eerie spoken tone] March with the ghosts of the unpaid bills, They hum lullabies with electric drills, Pavement veins pump steam through the street, And the children chant in a coughing beat. [guitar break - frantic dissonant riff, sudden stop] [bridge - manic whisper, then explosive scream] Shhhh—don’t tell the sun we’re awake, It’s sleeping inside the nuclear lake, Hold your breath— [beat drop, double-time drums] —'til your shadow breaks! [chorus - heavier, layered with harmonies and screams] Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) We’ll chew the clouds ‘til the colors drain, Teeth in the sky! (Bite the rain!) [outro - chaotic overlapping voices fading out] Bite the rain, bite the rain, bite the rain… The teeth in the sky have your name.
