Shining Teeth

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
 I'm 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 backing out the door
 I don't wanna see those burned-out empty eyes
 I don't wanna see your shining teeth no more
