Lion's Jaw

from Belmont EP by Belmont

/

lyrics

Tracking the prints that it left
On the porous pages in ink.
“Love isn’t soft. Love has teeth,
which bite and the wounds never close.”
How long can we dance round this beast
Before her jaws re-open
The wounds of your negligence from the threat
Of this beast so close behind

Bobby-pins where you left them
Further away than we thought
“Love isn’t soft. Love has teeth,
Which bite and the wounds never close.”
We dance round the teeth of this beast
Laughing to mask our knowledge
Of its prowess although your hands they do hold
Insides of the wounds she left

The mother with the lion’s jaw
She lurks behind as we sleep
All the while we dream
Of her sharp and blood thirsty teeth
She gnaws on our bones in the spring
Closing the gaps with the ancient
Times that we shared and even though our cares
Were thrown out with lonely tones

Treacherous love is a must
for future it cannot be told
kinks in the folds of your arms
scars that are bleeding and bold
Teach me your traitorous ways
‘Cause hurting is sweeter than springtime
Beautiful blood as it trickles and hugs my eyes

“Love isn’t soft. Love has teeth
Which bite and the wounds never close”
Mapping their skin with fingertips
Tracing their thoughts in ink
But maps, they can be burnt
And words misconstrued
She sharpens her claws behind them
And licks the blood from her fur
