  1. Use Your Teeth

From the recording The Bird in My Chest

Lyrics

words and music by Gabrielle Louise

Mean as the wolf
without a leash,
your the beast
hanging around outside.
And my mind
is just another room
that you occupy.
If you're gonna tear my heart out
do it right -
use your teeth.

Like a siren
in the street
all your sorrow
keeps me company.
You're the steam
rising from the pavement.
You're behaving
so finiky!
If you're gonna tear my heart out
do it right -
use your teeth.

All these consolations,
hollow conversations!
We're hanging empty photographs
in empty halls.
I don't need a sunset
a ride with a knight,
but if we're coming to the ending
stop pretending to be...
to be nice!

I've been framed
in your mind games.
I'm not afraid,
I'm petrified.
If I had any faith
in God,
I would fall.
(And I will fall
when you look at me that way.)
If you're gonna tear my heart out
do it right --
use your teeth.
