Fangless

Sharp teeth in a broken jaw Hungry, but I'll hunger on And the hours I waste While I fake a grace That no one will ever see And I practice tests And a usefulness That I no longer need Did you forget we once saw you as grand A beast and a savior, a mountain, a man Grew from a speck to be worshipped and crowned Now you're flimsy and fangless, drooping and drowned But I know that you made me, sick for you like a rabid dog And your lies rearranged me, broke me down but I'm not undone Clenched fist on a dangling arm Fight's over, but I'll fight on Where's the evidence The scars, the dents That I was ever here? I've been reassigned Put back in line With the other disappeared But I know that you claim me I give in, I'm your ragged doll You were born in a shout But you will die in a silent skull --- Fangless - Sleater-Kinney
