Teeth

Fade in

Verse 1

There’s a mirror in the hallway breathing softly in code

Every shadow on the ceiling knows the places I’ve owed

Pinned a secret to the curtain with a rusted silver pin

But the silence keeps on humming like it wants to let me in

Pre-Chorus

And the walls keep whispering

Every word you hid from me

Chorus

There are teeth in the wallpaper

Smiling when the lights go out

Every promise tastes like paper

Every whisper starts to shout

If the truth is in the fracture

In the pattern of the lies

Then the teeth in the wallpaper

Are just learning how to bite

Verse 2

Left a message in the staircase made of dust and regret

Every step another echo of a ghost we haven’t met

You were laughing in the doorway with your hands full of glass

Like the past was just a riddle that was never meant to pass

Pre-Chorus

Now the ceiling starts to spin

And the quiet’s closing in

Chorus

There are teeth in the wallpaper

Smiling when the lights go out

Every promise tastes like paper

Every whisper starts to shout

If the truth is in the fracture

In the pattern of the lies

Then the teeth in the wallpaper

Are just learning how to bite

Outro

So pull the thread out from the night

Watch the whole house come apart

Every secret that you buried

Left a staircase to your heart.

Fade out
