Anyone's Ghost - By the Baring of my Teeth, Étienne lyrics

Every time I wanted to protect you I would fall back into empty Untethered without warning In a real thought That I used to have I would worry you'd die 10 years before me I wanted you to reach out and touch I wanted you to eat me whole Baby, won't you hold me down In the shell of my body Carve me out If you like me so much Kiss me If you like me so much Let me know Far too late And with far too much hesitation If you can't stomach me now You know I wouldn't blame you When I ask for your patience It's not an accusation Showing my soft stomach in trust This is a newborn, infant love Pink and hot, from another flesh I wanted you to consume me, body first And if I needed to overlook I would've overlooked for you By the baring of my teeth Baby, won't you overwhelm me? If you like me so much F*ck me If you like me so much Let me know I will take my own advice Far too late And with far too much hesitation And I kept thinking that If you came and kissed me I'd forgive you instantly I want to scream at you Open-mouthed and pleading Every time I'm happy I think it'll be the last time
