The Envy Corps - Baby Teeth (+lyrics) - Video
PUBLISHED:  Mar 25, 2009
DESCRIPTION:
A very moving song. From the album Dwell (2008). Lyrics:

When I still thought there was time
I'd peel back these blisters
And rub them with brine
Whisper and mouth lullabies
Pretending those words were not mine

Is it a bit much to ask
For the snow to come down
And cover my tracks
Carrying lies is a task
And frankly, dear, we wear me out

Of the rise and the fall
I would sing songs capturing it all
But I won't sing to you again
Cause you're not listening

And after the silence was flung
The amateur marriage still rests on my tongue
Could we, to bear some relief,
Consider this union baby teeth?

Of the rise and the fall
I could sing songs capturing you all
But I won't sing to you again
Cause you're not listening

Oh and after the silence was flung
A battle was always fought
My strategy always was
To kiss the tip of your tongue
So the words could not roll off
So the vowels could not form
How clever I thought I was

(sorry don't know about the very last part)
