You can't spell enemy without me Born with a rogue tongue That speaks vendettas to sabotage the smile it hides behind I tried to bite it but the lies shine between the cracks in my crooked teeth So now I sit home alone where I can only lie to myself Once in a while I send distress signals Mainly to prove I still exist But I dare not open the door For fear my tongue will escape And slither toward a kind ear To tickle its fancy; whispering sweet nothings Then choking it with white noise I strike again

Sweet Nothings
You can't spell enemy without me Born with a rogue tongue That speaks vendettas to sabotage the smile it hides behind I tried to bite it but the lies shine between the cracks in my crooked teeth So now I sit home alone where I can only lie to myself Once in a while I send distress signals Mainly to prove I still exist But I dare not open the door For fear my tongue will escape And slither toward a kind ear To tickle its fancy; whispering sweet nothings Then choking it with white noise I strike again
These words are mine and mine alone.
