lyrics

I don't want to pull your teeth
but you insist trying to tell me that your gums won't bleed
You are the keeper of an orchard gate key

I don't want to spill my guts on the side walk
See all the dog owners try not to notice
as their shih tzu-cross laps up at my innards
I try to tell you this is the way that I'm feeling

I don't want to see you cry
No, I don't want to watch you cry
You say you're not convinced by the way that I love
well neither am I
But in all honesty, I still like myself just fine

Fuck it, I'm afraid of the way you forgive me
I am afraid of the way that you forgive me
Your eyes wide open like the morning window
Why are you so kind? I'll be damned if I know

Tell me you can hardly breathe, and I will tell you I can hardly breathe
Feeling sick to my stomach 'cause you smell so sweet
Cigarette on your shirt and your hair all clean

I feel like I am pulling teeth for a living
I feel like I am pulling teeth
but you convince me trying to tell me that your gums won't bleed
But I can taste it in the way you kiss me

Hear it in the way I speak
You can hear it in the way I speak
I'm not an idol of love I'm just a statue of self
and you're better off without me

about

Nika Mo Perth, Australia

Making and performing on Whadjuk Noongar boodjar. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Melancholy-folk that makes the Perth mundane sound somewhat poetic.
