lyrics

Once is never enough
The taste leaves a scent on your sleeves
Fall down, down on your knees

I forgot what I deny
And can't stop it in time
Alone all right

Dead dreams, flat tires
Now you're pushing your luck
Dull teeth, can't bite
Tamed by the tusk

Red meat, drowned liars
Now who's passing the buck?
Bent nails, split wood
Tamed by the tusk

Foaming at the mouth
A chalice full of doubt
