This family blood runs thourgh me thin as oil in water   My family blood cut through me cleer like teeth made of sauter   My childhood passed through me smooth like the throat meeting water   A dentist sighs, "son, we're going to have to take your last good set of teeth."   Someone once said, "why do you try to speak when you don't have a mouth?"   You could have been fine, you could have made it   You could have licked the lips of god but you chose the pavement   Just lay there with your mouth wired shut   You went too far out on a limb and you fell   You know your track record shows that it's full of holes, so the next time you try to open your mouth, just don't   Why do you let them count your teeth while you sleep   When they take a few and parade them around like they know you   I want to be able to stick my fist in your mouth and feel all 32   You look so beautiful with a full set of teeth and a great mouth to chew   I know I lose track of you sometimes   I lose track of myself sometimes   I lose track of my grammar sometimes   Dot dot comma dot   You know I try things six times   One is for every shot   How many triggers do we got left in the chamber?   What's to remember?   Lost family   Lost friends   Loose ends untied   The years loop themselves and run over and over again   You need to buy a piece of this land now, boy   It's running out quick   I'd take this I guess over the other one   The suns sets on things that I should have done   They acted too quick   Some things need to remain still   It's that you shouldn't, you couldn't   It could weigh down your eyes   As all these walls start to sing, you know you shouldn't, you couldn't   And then the gums start to bleed   Don't drunk from this fountain, you are liable to drown, and I might ask this once or twice   This is all ringing because you know you shouldn't   You couldn't   So my ears start to bleed   I might ask this once or twice   What is this?   This, my gaping mound of wires   My flapping speakerbox   Human connection of disconnection   Why exist?   Why take the risk?   Another day brings you closer to your last hour
