GLASS TEETH

[Intro - dirty guitar scrape, floor tom, close vocal] Don’t get too close I break when I bite [Verse 1 - dry garage groove, restrained vocal] Everybody likes me loud Till I say what I mean out loud Pretty little warning sign Hanging crooked all the time I learned smiling gets you far Learned exactly where the exits are Keep my jacket zipped up tight Like nobody gets inside [Pre-Chorus - tension rising] You think I’m fearless That’s cute You only see me When I choose [Chorus - explosive guitars] I’ve got glass teeth Sharp enough to leave a mark Glass teeth Shining pretty in the dark I can bite I can bleed I can be both things you see Don’t mistake the way I fight For something that won’t break tonight Glass teeth Glass teeth [Post-Chorus - distorted riff, vocal doubles] Crack Crack Still smiling back [Verse 2 - heavier bass, rougher vocal] Everybody wants the truth Till the truth starts talking back to you Call me difficult again Put the word beneath my skin I know how to make a scene Know how to look seventeen and mean But sometimes when the room goes black I hear every little crack [Pre-Chorus 2 - drums opening] You call me dangerous Maybe But every weapon Has a weakness [Chorus - bigger, dirtier] I’ve got glass teeth Sharp enough to leave a mark Glass teeth Shining pretty in the dark I can bite I can bleed I can be both things you see Don’t mistake the way I fight For something that won’t break tonight Glass teeth Glass teeth [Breakdown - half-time drums, metallic hits] Don’t touch Don’t stare Don’t ask what’s under there Don’t love The version That only works when I’m hurting One crack Two cracks I still know how to bite back [Instrumental - ugly guitar riff, amp noise] [Bridge - almost bare vocal] Maybe strength was never being hard Maybe I got that part wrong Maybe all this armor Was just somewhere to belong If I let you see the fractures Don’t call them beautiful Just stay If you want to [Final Chorus - full-band explosion] I’ve got glass teeth Sharp enough to leave a scar Glass teeth Still don’t know how strong they are I can bite I can bleed Nothing has to cancel anything If I shatter in the light I’ll pick the pieces up tonight Glass teeth Still mine Glass teeth Still bite [Outro - instruments drop out, amp hum] Careful. They’re real enough.
