[Verse 1] Woke up brave Till I saw the text "Reminder: dentist" Instant regret Sat in the chair Like a trapped raccoon Asking deep questions "Will it hurt soon?" (uh-oh) [Chorus] Open wide Terrified inside Trying to act like I'm totally fine They say "Just relax" as they tilt me back And poke my secrets with a tiny metal spike Open wide Dignity denied Bib ’round my neck like I'm five inside They ask "So how’s life?" with both hands in my mouth I just gargle and dribble it out (blblbl) [Verse 2] That spinning brush Roaring in my brain I swore I flossed They know it's a game "Any pain here?" Why’d you press so hard You just unlocked My childhood scars (wow) [Chorus] Open wide Terrified inside Trying to act like I'm totally fine They say "Just relax" as they tilt me back And poke my secrets with a tiny metal spike Open wide Dignity denied Bib ’round my neck like I'm five inside They ask "Got big plans?" while they scrape my soul I just nod like a bobblehead doll (yeah-yeah) [Bridge] Staring at that poster of a beach I’ll never see While a stranger judges all the snacks inside of me "Just a little pinch" means "start to say your prayers" I’d run for the door But I’m stuck to this chair (help!) [Chorus] Open wide Terrified inside Trying to act like I'm totally fine They say "Almost done" for the fifth straight time While they excavate my past in every line Open wide Glossy-shiny smile I survived At least for a while Walk out like a hero of a very dumb quest And book six months of future stress (see you then)
