fill your teeth
with mortal needs
settle into the skin
smile and greet
the other meat
indulge all seven sins

take what the world provides 
treat it as your own
cling to mother nature's side, 
it's me who she's disowned

and when the day comes 
that you've taken all
save a few
nature's mouth foams
you're slick with the nothing
of the new
who am i to deny
you stood here so long before me
fill your teeth
and think of all the things 
you long to be.

f1ll y0ur teeth

when the time skips still and the trees grow down
when the oceans fill and the birds all drown
i'll be here to watch and write it down
when no one is around to read it out loud

if cities are on fire
with nobody to hear
does the metal still scream
to those without ears

when the fire comes and the night is long
when the tree you planted is the one you hang on
i'll be here to sit and watch it burn on
with only ashes left to hear my song

if cities are on fire
with nobody to hear
does the metal still scream
to those without ears
