lyrics

tired teeth; i'm sick and know
how to swallow a fear, it's slick, a toast
to you in this place, a house and a home

keep me posted, dear don't go
please dear just wait, i think you should know
i'm all the way sad, i'm all the way slow

something keeps holding me back
i don't want to be here

just wait and see but it never shows
how hard it will be to pretend you're cool
i can't be seen, no i have to go

i'm keeping it tight, i'm watching it grow
when i turn off the kitchen light, babe i can see it all
these people are mean, these people are cold

something keeps holding me back
i don't want to be here
but something keeps holding me back
i don't want to be here

i don't know what it is but i know what it does
it makes me feel weak, it makes me feel loved

how long have we been out?
dresses and bra straps, a lesson in all black
i follow with my mouth
weightless and obedient

how long have you been out?
it's past your bedtime, i'm trying to find mine
i tell you with my mouth
weightlessness, obedience, oh!

hold you in my teeth as i do what i can
kiss selfishly and just hope you understand
i am not a boy, i'm not dad, i am not a man

hold you in my teeth and you've got me in your hands
i can hardly breath, i can hardly stand
can't you believe my ceiling and seal my plan
i am not a man
