Cavities

Icing suffocates the bitter tongue

Cream's sweet as love, and just as painful

'cause holes in the teeth can't be escaped

They're stuck in here, in you, in me,

with the flood of pretty lies that trickle through

and tell me all the pain's away

even when it isn't

Still, can't help but relish the sugar

hiding in between my teeth like my

sickeningly bittersweet self

Lodged behind a pearly mask

that will rot away with time

and leave the truth behind,

but protect me till' then
