you came into my life like a punch to my jaw
and all my rotten teeth fell as love circled my head
and sedated me with all its gorgeous dreams

but oh my god, under all the gas fogging up reality
my mouth started to ache
and i could no longer whisper the words that could've made you stay
because i was numb on the actions, convinced that it would've made you walk away

but i bit my tongue 'til i could taste the metallic satisfaction of silence and regret


all i have is body language now my dear
and i can barely crawl, yet alone act like i'm fine
