Close (With Lies) Lyrics by Toothache

Fate, Karma, or Just Bad Luck

2022

[Intro: Andrew Walton]
Slippage
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
Unasked for, feeling sleep between the gaps
What is left unsaid burst out in a flood
Engulfs the narrow confines of my text
Inadequate, I know
But all we have
Blindly groping in the darkness of life
Stumbling to simply say I miss you
I am left with memories of the day
Sheltering in a dusty bookshop from the rain
Others’ word seeped from the printed page
Friendships, fragile, frontline, finally, falls
Words cannot hold the inside of our hearts
[Verse 1: Toothache]
Mama I swear I’ll make it
Mama but i've been taken
Mama I wanna please you
But latеly I've been overtaken
By a pain that nеver subsides
And she kept me close with lies
And I'm sorry you’re seeing me like this
And I’m sorry for falling for all of this
Sometimes i even look at myself in a bad light
Cause I can't keep a girl by my side for a long time
I'm running out of things to say on this mic right now
But i kinda like the way I've been laying things out
I just wanna hang out and chill and smoke
But I’m slippin, trippin yeah yeah yeah
