Hot Gum

I hold soft flames on my tongue and chew on them
Like chewing gum
They burn the roof of my mouth, but I won't spit it
Out loud right now

There's an inferno in your mouth, I can tell by the way
You smile like it burns
You press your lips together like you're kissing yourself
To stop me from learning

He's a keeper, he's a believer
He's on the ground, on his knees in a theater
And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are
But he fell in love with the fever

"I could never leave her, I could never keep her"
That's what he says to the neighborhood preacher
And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are
But I fell in love with the fever and I

I watch us burn and fall, the heat is ten feet tall
The potential is bench-pressing us into the wall
And the flicker flames weave in through my teeth
If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be?

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

Aw-
One to two
Your teeth wanna tattle and confess
To me

Your molars are complaining and I can hear
Them weep
Sucking on fire, while you're a liar that says they
Feel nothing

Your hand is watching mine like an LA Hawk
My hand is well aware that it's being stalked
Won't see it smile while I'm chewing on the flame
'Cause I've never been one to ruin the game

He's a keeper, he's a believer
He's on the ground on his knees in a theater
And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are
But he fell in love with the fever

"I could never leave her, I could never keep her"
That's what he says to the neighborhood preacher
And he put us in a car, I don't know where we are
But I fell in love with the fever and I

I watch us burn and fall, the heat is ten feet tall
The potential is bench-pressing us into the wall
And the flicker flames weave in through my teeth
If the hot gum were to slip out, where would we be?

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)

Your teeth are on fire, do you notice? No
Your mouth is burning, do you notice? No
Your hair burns, my hair burns, your skin burns, my skin burns
Do you feel anything? No, do you feel anything? No

If I tell you what I'm thinking, promise you won't tell yourself
If you tell me what you're thinking, I swear I won't tell myself
He's on the ground, he's on his knees, he's a believer
He's on the ground, he didn't listen to the preacher
