lyrics

I bit through my cheeks
With a gum full of razors
I've grown the mouth of a lion
And have a voice like a roar
You could hear me a mile away
And I could feel you for many miles more

I tore through my clothes
Ripped apart the sleeves
I Clawed at the chest
And scratched away my fear
I picked apart what was left in my heart
But I could feel you still near

I've grown a forked and sharp tongue
My words have become my weapon
But only so many fangs compensate
For the mere heart of a mouse
I looked through every room, no one there
But I could feel you throughout this whole house
