Red Teeth Lyrics by Half Waif

Future Joys

2013

You took the robin
You put the stone in its throat
Now every note it sings rattles, rattles
You took the orchid
You wrapped its petals in the frost
Now when it shakes it off, it rattles, it rattles

(Could you shake it off like it was nothing?)

Red in the front teeth:
You tried to terrify the sun
Stare down the rays of light 'til it was gone
It took every power
You know I claim to possess
Just to convince myself it's harmless, it's harmless

I'm considering things that I wouldn't have
When I was young
I'm considering things I know shouldn't be done
I'm attracted to the dark:
What moves and what sparks?
I'm considering things that I wouldn't have
When I had a heart

You drew my power out
Like it was poison now
