Stare straight into the maw
As it hungers for more
More than you have
Your offer is never enough
To hold back the teeth
From sinking in deep

We tried to upset the balance
The hunger only grows
Its teeth are sinking in
Its teeth are sinking in

In becoming its mouth
You arm the beast
And you lead it out
Taking more than it leaves
Devouring whole
The hunger will grow

We tried to upset the balance
The hunger only grows
Its teeth are sinking in
Its teeth are sinking in
Its teeth are sinking in
It will devour us whole

Ending at the beginning
Complete the circle
Life to decay
Take this life
That we offer
Renew your hunger
Let come what may

We try so hard to control
But it all falls apart
Slipping through our fingers
Fading in the dark
We only hope that the beast
Will have his fill
And wander away




Behind the Song:
'Teeth' Brings the beast back into focus - “In becoming its mouth, you arm the beast.” It reveals that participation in the system, even in revolt, feeds its hunger.
