Inky Scratches - From the Perspective of Words

I try to escape through the teeth but the jump is too high
So I waste time at the tip of the tongue
I hold on just for the fun of it
But smoke starts to rise
I'm burning this mouth and the person outside
If I try to crawl out you'll have to open so wide
So wide
Oh man
Oh damn
It's that one again
And I feel the lips smile
The burning subsides
Now I think I've flown a little farther than I should
And if I could I know you'd shove me back in
But the light is blinding
And you don't smell the burning
I keep justifying flying out
I sing to myself
Sing to myself
Oh man
Oh damn
It's that one again
And I feel the lips smile
The burning subsides
I fly out
The air is bright
I smell smoke
Passing into the sky
Shove me back in
I swear
I lied
Oh man
Oh man
There's that one again
And I feel the lips smile
The burning subsides
Oh man
Oh damn
It's that one again
And I feel the lips smile
The burning subsides
I try to escape through the teeth but the jump is too high
So I waste time at the tip of the tongue
I hold on just for the fun of it
But smoke starts to rise
I'm burning this mouth and the person outside
If I try to crawl out you'll have to open so wide
So wide
