Borrowed Teeth Songtext
von IRST

I know you′re not coming back but still I listen for your breath
I press my ear against the ground and lie to myself instead
If I say your name enough I'll get death to second guess
I step back but it′s splitting me in two
And every time I loosen, I lose another part of you
Step back from the fields of wilting flowers
Step back let nature run its course
"It's the right thing to do," prophets whisper in my ear
Try to guide my hand, but I won't let them near
I know you′re not coming back
Still I bargain with the grave
Like if I suffer long enough it might return what I gave
But the ground won′t make a trade
It only takes away, swallows everything
I'd rather rot beside you than learn to live in peace


I′ll dig until the dirt starts filling up my lungs
I'll bury myself
Just to keep you close
They say the body knows when to release
Then why does mine clamp down
On the flesh of the deceased?
I can feel the worms rehearsing their liturgy beneath
But I′m not done speaking through your borrowed teeth
And I'm frantically trying to cover the cracks
I know you′re gone, and still you answer my call
But if I open up my hands, will you finally be at peace?
And if I stop calling your name, will the aching start to cease?
I know you're gone
You're gone the earth had claimed your name
You′re gone and every prayer echoes back the same
