Baby Teeth

Call off your dogs and take me home
Your constant condemnations
Assail my patience
When it’s just us two, you fill the room
Making your righteous pronouncements
Like someone is counting
Rail against the world
Twisting all my words, demand to know
Why I’m so sensitive
In the light of day, you are hiding away
Behind your mirrored glasses
And self-satisfaction
I sink like lead, wolf in my bed
Your loveless provocations
Hold nothing sacred
Claiming all you’re due, you’ll
Swing like a fist at anything that moves
Tooth for tooth
Well I refuse, I refuse
