Falling Apart
Teeth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I went to this party one night
There were lots of food
Girls, the works
I guess I ate too much
Suddenly I felt funny inside
A tickle in my butt

Why should I torment my mind
Evil air between my thighs
It hurts me deep inside
'coz it sucks
Just let me die

I was stuck in this corner
Ready to explode
Sweat came like beads
Still people kept pouring in
Heck... I'll do it anyway
I'll just blame it on someone else





I'm falling apart
