DM Stith sawtooth

what would I do with your love right now
forehead to the door, keep you pounding outside
what could we say’s not already said
you fold your devotion like you make your bed
and I see:
two sets of teeth and two sets of eyes
and sheepskin lies about wasted time
what could I do with that love right now
the alkaline sting of your words in my mouth
what could we say
it’s already dead
you fold your devotion like you bang your head
here’s what I need: a year in your life
we’d sawtooth together, eat each other alive
two sets of teeth and two sets of eyes
I’ll not hear another word about wasted time
you’ll ask if I need a flake of your life
but we’d sawtooth together
eat each other alive
we’ve drawn out the ring
and we’ve chosen our sides
but it all bleeds together
in a shrapnel nightmare
and silence
