lyrics

we talked about pulling teeth
little us and our little techniques
different art forms we practiced
different surgical tactics.
you were scared and soft
you made sure your hands were washed
wait 'till they're hanging by a thread
coax pearls from your mouth and you never even bled.
your patience payed off
your teeth are fine
bones worth a dollar
bones worth a dime.

(chorus)
pullin' out our baby teeth,
we both confessed to forgetting the feeling
empty ache
soft hole in my head
you kinda feel like that instead.

phantom limb syndrome in my mouth
knock 'em out before my heath goes south
I used to be scared of that pain
but then it all started feeling the same.
I was eager
and I couldn't stop
bloody sink
a homemade dentist workshop
pulling bones from my gums,
an empty mouth makes you speak in tongues.
my haste was my demise
eager for a silver prize
now my teeth aren't as straight
they say good comes to those who wait.

(chorus)
pullin' out our baby teeth,
we both confessed to forgetting the feeling
empty ache
soft hole in my head
you kinda feel like that instead.

do you remember what it's like pulling pieces from you head?
no I think that means our youth is dead.
a metaphorical loss of our childhood
I don't know why but I thought all that blood felt good.

(chorus)
pullin' out our baby teeth,
we both confessed to forgetting the feeling
empty ache
soft hole in my head
you kinda feel like that instead.
