[Intro]
I'm reading over your shoulder
It says it in every line
In every curve and crack
It says it in every detail of your face
Unmistakably apparent in this dull light
Tracing a separate letter and forming a separate word
Twisting together to build the same beautiful sentence
The same painful realization

[Verse 1]
The cracks in your lips open with the book, and the smile shows the lines in your face
Perfectly crooked and perfectly familiar
The cracks in your lips open with the book, and the smile shows the lines in your face
Perfectly crooked and perfectly familiar

[Bridge 1]
And for the moment, uncovered like a statue
Lay perfectly still to show the cracks in your lips
Give purpose to this pattern, and start to smile
Burst into flames, disappear

[Verse 2]
Before your best intentions can no longer hide her ears from that which will make them bleed
Or your own two hands become too weak to hold the blood inside the wounds
Or reality explodes before you in a brilliant flash of spectral fire
Into a thousand fragments of a past, long dead and gone
[Verse 3]
This is remembering the last time we touched, the last time we spoke
Words ricocheting off empty tables
Vandalizing the pictures on these smoke-stained walls
And I can feel your mouth as it opens from across the room
Your tongue and lips forming the shape of your laughter
It's the curve of your stomach, it's the bend in your legs
It's the remnants of pages framed in the cracks of your bleeding lips
It's the curve of your stomach, it's the bend in your legs

[Bridge 2]
Your crooked teeth
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth
Oh, your crooked teeth, your crooked teeth

[Outro]
I'm reading over your shoulder
It says it in every line, in every curve and crack
The same stupid message in every stupid bend and every stupid stitch
In every inch of our peeling skin
It's tracing letters in the same sentence
It's screaming the same stupid thing
Like the howling of a plane playing over and over and over and over and over
Over and over and over and over and over
