London Bites

It came from the mouth
So perfect, crystalline
The verdict slowing time
For this slip of a girl

Hold your your head high
Pull your your lips wide
Make your your mind keen
Keep your your teeth clean

Watch me break my body as I fall from heady heights
Find safety in strangers 'cause this city bites
Howling as the people fly underneath where I tread
Come with me to London, digging up the dead

Walking with ghosts on loose-lipped pavements
The walls we leaned against
How I loved the idea of you

Hold your your head high
Pull your your lips wide
Make your your mind keen
Keep your your teeth clean

Watch me break my body as I fall from heady heights
Find safety in strangers 'cause this city bites
Howling as the people fly underneath where I tread
Come with me to London, digging up the dead

Unwanted expectation
Misplaced my admiration
They never promised to protect my heart

Watch me break my body as I fall from heady heights
Find safety in strangers 'cause this city bites
Howling as the people fly underneath where I tread
Come with me to London, digging up the dead
