Behind My Teeth by Elephantelephone Lyrics

You're the peas I'm always pushing to the side of my plate
I know how good you are for me
But I hate the taste you leave in my mouth
And I'm not sure if that's what it's about

Time that I started trying to tell the truth
If I can't help but lie to myself then
What the hell should I say to you

You are nothing new
Yeah you
You are
The same old shit that I'm used to

Well I could give you a thousand reasons
Why I think that we should give it a shot
But I'll hold my tongue
I'm not going to argue this time

I'm going to let you walk
Right out of my life
And if you think that I'm wrong then you're probably right
But my brain is tired and I'm getting sick of fighting with myself
I need to clear my mind and breathe fresh air
Instead of breathing hell
And try to find a reason to believe
In anything

So I try not to speak
Keep it locked behind my teeth
Are clenched together
And now I'm severing ties

Without so much as opening my mouth
And somehow
I won't break down
Though I'll just keep it all

Locked up inside
My mind
And I
We disagree a lot
Of the time
But that's fine
