Hippo Campus - Listerine

Your closet smile, held like a knife
The sweetest thing, you're goddamn right
I'd stay awake for you to put me in the corner
You mess it up for me, we'll be history
You've got lips and I've got Listerine
But you can't wash the fucked up out of me tonight

I feel your collar 'round my neck (despite how hard you try)
You rest assured, that signal's read
I always have, I've always been your fucking dog
It seems I've learned a couple tricks
Been living like I'm losing it
And maybe silence is the weapon that you called for

Your closet smile, held like a knife
The sweetest thing, you're goddamn right
I'd stay awake for you to put me in the corner
You mess it up for me, we'll be history
You've got lips and I've got Listerine
But you can't wash the fucked up out of me tonight

I'll keep my mouth shut every night (despite how hard you try)
Just gag me good and I'll treat you right
I'm your POW and the great deceiver
You better leave her when you go
I cannot place myself to know
Where you've been and what the hell I've been doing

Your closet smile, held like a knife
The sweetest thing, you're goddamn right
I'd stay awake for you to put me in the corner
You mess it up for me, we'll be history
You've got lips and I've got Listerine
But you can't wash the fucked up out of me tonight
Despite how hard you try

Despite how hard you try
