Long Tooth Songtext
von Taking Meds

In the city of losers I could become the king
As I fill out my checklist in disappearing ink
Asked if I had advice for an 18-year-old me
When they say "nobody cares," take it literally

Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It′s got stains like a cheap plate


My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that′s okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth

Just 'cause it′s in the song it don′t mean it's off my chest
It′s just a couple of words that never could show the depths
They lie around, fill up notebooks, take up space on the shelves
A paperweight that don't weigh enough to help

Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It′s got stains like a cheap plate


My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that′s okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
