Yellow Eyes, Rainbow Teeth

from Rainbow Teeth EP by Rainbow Teeth

lyrics

I've got a sharp but shy wit
I know you can't tell from hearing this
But it's nothing compared to what you came at me with
It wasn't a knife but it was sharp too
Under these circumstances I'd say that's a good start
Oh, oh

If eyes were the window to the soul
I could see mine through a keyhole
Or
A glass eye in a monocle

Because my heart
Oh
You're heart
Oh I have no idea which one is mine anymore
Oh

Keep tugging at my strings

Yellow eyes and rainbow teeth
On a headless beach
Then from dune to street
Carry bobbing beneath the shade of the trees

But truth sinks like those teeth into concrete
Or a nail into your knee

Or Or Or Or

We start with “or” and we keep ending
We start with “and” and we keep going
Or is it the other way around

I heard where you came from
I heard where I came from
It was the same place believe me
Sweeping secrets under your own IKEA rug
Or roll it all up in one completely

I heard where I come from
I heard where you came from
Sweeping our secrets up
Sweeping our secrets up
Sweeping us up
Let's sweep up
Let's get swept away
Let's get swept away
Let's sweep our secrets up

I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared
I know
I know
I know
I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm scared

If eyes were the window to the soul
You can see mine through a keyhole
Or through a glass eye in a monocle

Oh

If eyes were the window to the soul
Just if
Just if
Just if

If eyes were the window to the soul
Ah

Sentiment is fucking worthless

Besides you can find mine
Behind your fucking dry wall

You can find mine behind your dry wall

Sentiment is worthless
Make no mistake
Make no fucking mistake

Run
Run

Run

So these are my last pills
So you better take advantage
You better take advantage
These are my last pills
You better take advantage
These are my last pills and I'm feeling sentimental

And then I made my hands into the shape of a cup
And you poured everything you had into it
You poured everything you had into it
So remember me
Remember me
Because I'll remember you on that day
You poured everything into my hands
Into my hands
I'll remember you

And it seeps out from the cracks of my fingers
And I'll remember you

So remember me
Because I'll always remember you like those two hands
Keeping that liquid in
Seeping out from the cracks
Keeping that liquid in

I won't remember us

If Atlas is holding the earth
Who is holding the moon?
If Atlas is holding the earth
He must be juggling the moon
And the sun.
