lyrics

Tooth decay and fever dreams
Serotonin won't fill in cavities
Enamel worn down to the nerve
This migraine aura is all that I deserve
To have when self control
Won't stop me taking bites out of my soul
Addictive flannel mouth
I know deep down what I must cut out

My saccharine
Too sweet to be let in
Everything else is
Flavourless within
Your seasoning
Makes everyone else's seem so thin
Now I can't taste anything
Without my saccharine

I thought that I deserved a treat
To have something in my life be sweet
Reminding me of being young
Fireworks exploding on my tongue
The top shelf treasure chest
Sherbet stings a path to the dentist
Swallow my urge and doubt
The hardest thing I've had to cut out

My saccharine
Too sweet to be let in
Everything else is
Flavourless within
Your seasoning
Makes everyone else's seem so thin
I can't taste anything
Now without my saccharine

My saccharine
Are you a sickness or a sin
With all the root canal pain that you bring?
Candy delight
I guess I'll crave you 'til I die
Eating away at me from within
My saccharine
Your absence felt in everything
My saccharine
You're too sweet for me to let you in
My saccharine
