Girl
My master of slight of hand
Slight of eyes
Slight of teeth
Smile. But speak the truth to me
Boy
Only God and I know
How you watch your steps so close
And as I mind mine through your minefield mind
We survive by the skin of our teeth
I know that places inside you are
Less than comfortable
And hardly complete
I'll keep you safe with me
Much more than can your lips and your teeth
Girl
Only God and I know
What they put you through
Draw your blood to mouth and strain it through my teeth
I promise sacred speech
I know that places inside you are
Less than comfortable
And hardly complete
I'll keep you safe with me
Much more than can your lips and your teeth.
