Long Tooth
In the city of losers I could become the king
As I fill out my checklist in disappearing ink
Asked if I had advice for an 18-year-old me
When they say "nobody cares," take it literally
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
Just 'cause it's in the song it don't mean it's off my chest
It's just a couple of words that never could show the depths
They lie around, fill up notebooks, take up space on the shelves
A paperweight that don't weigh enough to help
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
As I fill out my checklist in disappearing ink
Asked if I had advice for an 18-year-old me
When they say "nobody cares," take it literally
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
Just 'cause it's in the song it don't mean it's off my chest
It's just a couple of words that never could show the depths
They lie around, fill up notebooks, take up space on the shelves
A paperweight that don't weigh enough to help
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
Can I sell my ticket
To this dumb convention
Can I pawn my trophy
It's got stains like a cheap plate
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
My words, a whisper in the woods
Not like a scream I've heard would do me any good
And that's okay
I'm as free as a bird now if you want to know the truth
Just an iron rooster spinning on a roof
Getting long in the tooth
