Teeth Marks

(heavier, sludgy, jagged riffs — obsession turning possessive)

(Verse 1)

You said you need space — I’m already there,

Breathing your air, tangled in your hair.

Love shouldn’t bruise, you said with care,

But I keep your marks like a prayer.

I trace the scars you didn’t know,

Map the places your feelings show.

(Verse 2)

Every glance, every slip, I chase,

Every heartbeat, every trace.

You pull away, I pull you near,

Call it fear — I call it here.

Love’s not soft, love’s not tame,

Love leaves fire, love leaves pain.

(Pre-Chorus)

If it bites, it proves it’s real,

If it hurts, it tells me how to feel.

Every bruise, every tear,

Every mark says, “I was here.”

(Chorus 1 — raw, gritty)

Love leaves teeth marks,

Proof you’re mine in the dark.

If it hurts, it’s real,

If it stays, it heals.

Love leaves teeth marks.

(Verse 3 — shouted, obsessive)

I hold you like a storm in a jar,

Every breath, every scar.

You can’t escape, not in the end,

I’m the place your edges bend.

Call it madness, call it art,

Love leaves teeth marks.

(Chorus 2 — louder, feedback-laced)

Love leaves teeth marks,

Every scar a spark.

If it bites, let it show,

Means you were mine to hold.

I’ll keep the pieces you leave behind,

The teeth marks of your mind.

(Outro — echoing whisper + guitar feedback)

Stay…

Don’t go…

Love leaves teeth marks.
