Egg Tooth
Eggshells don’t suit you dear
I can’t hear just what you mean through your surgical mask
And on the tips of your toes
You have to go so slow, or you might skin your back
Subtlety
May have its place and season
But I can see
The lion caged inside
You could be dangerous
Steel yourself for the fray
Let fall away your iron rust
Reveal the reckoning blade
‘Cause I need the sharpest of friends
When my sides crust over again, you break me out to fend off
Enemies
Who want to take our minds and bodies
The blood we bleed
Is borrowed from the best
We could be dangerous
Liberty
Belongs to those who dare to live
As if they are free
And cast their fear aside
We could be dangerous
