I don't wanna see your shining teeth
Show me your bruised and battered heart
Prove to me that you'll be true
Let me touch the wounds that have haunted you
Share with me the wounds that still haunt you
I'm goin' down to the river
It's a place where I can breathe
Splash the waters, miss my daughters
Focus on my retrieve
Work on my reprieve
"I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more"
She screams as she flies across the floor
I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more
This life becomes a thin stream
And thinner with each day
I'm goin' down to the river
It's a place where I can play
It's a place where I can pray
"I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more"
She screams as she flies across the floor
I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more
And over time we become that line
And bow and drift and fray
And goin' down to the river
And wash the blood away
Wash my pain away
"I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more"
She screams as I'm backin' out the door
I don't wanna see those burned-out empty eyes
I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more
