DOGTOOTH [INTRO]

Lyrics: Chloe Bodur Music: Joseph Efi/Chloe Bodur If I sharpened my teeth into dogtooth chewed through raw meat chased my own tail ran through the fields on all fours until my corpse laid still Would you weep for me then? if I painted my cheeks yellow and yellowed my hair until my chin was blue in the face and blued my eyes would you see me as human and offer me bread and your home? Would you weep for me then? if I prayed to the sky hands pressed together instead of to my side Would you hear my prayers? Would you answer them? Would you weep for me then? if I was the perfect victim and mourned my children silently swallowed my crumbs with a smile and never dreamt of life of flying of singing or swimming in the ocean red with blood like the streets red with blood like the trees red with blood like the air red with blood like the sky red with blood like the water red with blood like the food red with blood like my skin red with blood stained by everyone I’ve ever loved until it’s my turn to bleed. If I took the bullet silently as did the others whose names you never heard whose faces you’ve never seen If I took the bullet silently and never fired back Never showed my teeth Or barked Would you weep for me then? Like you weep for them?
