(Verse 1) Cold zinc on the radiator hums. You bite the inside of your cheek until it comes. Lean over the sink, don’t turn the tap, Two dirty knuckles trapped inside my lap. You taste like melted ice and battery wire. I don't pull back. I don't catch fire. (Pre-Chorus) Hair caught between your collar and the seam. You breathe right through me like a broken screen. (Chorus) Mess up the mouth. Leave it gray. Nothing in your teeth I wanna take away. Just spit, nylon, wet wool coat. Press your dirty kiss right into my throat. Don’t ask me if it feels alright. It’s just another mouth in the blue light. (Verse 2) Fluorescent bulb flickering on your brow. You don’t look holy, not even now. Chapped lips dragging slow across the grain, Leaving an oil slick behind the stain. I count the ceiling tiles, one through four. Your shadow doesn't love you anymore. (Chorus) Mess up the mouth. Leave it gray. Nothing in your teeth I wanna take away. Just spit, nylon, wet wool coat. Press your dirty kiss right into my throat. Don’t ask me if it feels alright. It’s just another mouth in the blue light. (Outro) (Bass continues cycling alone under heavy hiss) Wipe it off with the back of my hand. Don't stand up yet. ...Don't look at me.
