lyrics

Heard you leaving through the basement door
Heard you leaving a couple times before
And all I said was, "I don't need you anymore."
And that's because I don't need you anymore

'Cause I'm too tired to follow you tonight
Heavy eyelids, tired of my life
All my teeth fall out like dust from the kitchen light
Teeth fall out like dust from the kitchen light that you left on

Now I stand on the shore with my feet in a cold great lake
I'm gonna let the truth save me from my honest mistakes
You try and let the blood wash out but the waves don't break
You can try and put your teeth back in but the roots won't take
