Toothpick - Stand Atlantic

I wish our skin would meet

A sting I wish would bleed

Like toothpicks sliding under fingernails

Don’t you need a breath of air?

'Cause you’re biting at my head

Like starving great whites feeding in the deep end

And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be

I’m twisting my words to appear like

This doesn’t burn

I’m staring at the sun, papercuts are in my eyes

Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction

With crime like a substance

I’m addicted to

Diving into the salt tides

I took you like a thief

A pinch that doesn’t leave

It’s like ice cubes grinding at your front teeth

And I miss you while you talk

It’s a comforting sense of shock

Feels like silver caught inside a toaster

And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be

I’m twisting my words to appear like

This doesn’t burn

I’m staring at the sun, papercuts are in my eyes

(Papercuts are in my eyes)

Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction

With crime like a substance

I’m addicted to

Diving into the salt tides

(Diving into the salt tides)

A fever that I’ll never break

'Cause I keep pushing pills away

Just to see my body shake

Expensive red wine

I hate the taste

And how the slightest spill will stain

I drink with you anyway

'Cause I know that I’m not as strong as I make myself out to be

I’m twisting my words to appear like

This doesn’t burn

I’m staring at the sun, papercuts are in my eyes

(Papercuts are in my eyes)

Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction

With crime like a substance

I’m addicted to

Diving into the salt tides

(Diving into the salt tides)

I’m twisting my words to appear like

This doesn’t burn

I’m staring at the sun, papercuts are in my eyes

(Papercuts are in my eyes)

Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction

With crime like a substance (Crime like a substance)

I’m addicted to

Diving into the salt tides

(Diving into the salt tides)

I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be
