Black Toothed Grin

Nary a winter goes by
That I don't try
To cover up the swell of the season
With Mickey and Molly
And other folks that are jolly
Invite 'em all
Cuz my heart is a freezin'

Who the hell am I kiddin'
When summer comes 'round
I'm just lookin' for another good reason
To indulge in drugs
And ethanol hugs
And new highs
That I'll never be reachin'

And in the end I hope that I'll change
But feel I'll break before I bend
So until that day I'll stay wastin' away
With these jolly folks
And a black toothed grin

Convincing myself
That this hand that I'm dealt
Is a circumstance beyond control
Not a big enough shovel
To fill up this hole
Keep fuelin' the fire
With that short burnin' coal

So now I done froze
And heated back up
And I'll start this whole cycle again
This toil runs deep
And this journey is steep
Never leavin'
Myself time to mend

But would I mend if given the chance
Idle hands have never been my friend
So until that day I'll stay wastin' away
With these jolly folks
And in the end I hope that I'll change
But feel I'll break before I bend
So until that day I'll stay wastin' away
With these jolly folks
And a black toothed grin
With these jolly folks
And a black toothed grin
