Teeth Marks
Verse 1
I've been so low for way too long
No matter what, everything feels wrong
Doc says my case is extreme
Doc says I'm gonna need an ECT

Pre Chorus
I see my teeth marks in a bite block
Next to my hospital bed
I don’t remember anything
But there’s a lightness to my head

Chorus
They knocked me out and shot the current through my brain
Now I’m reeling, feeling slightly less insane

Verse 2
They say I'll need about a dozen sessions
You must be my wife, or so you mentioned
My recent memory is vacant
“It was a brilliant cure, but they lost the patient” *

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Pre Chorus (alt)
I see my teeth marks in the bite block
Next to my bed
I don’t remember anything
But there’s a lightness to my head

Chorus
They knocked me out and shot the current through my brain
(You are gonna be fine)
Now I’m reeling, feeling slightly less insane
(Just sign your name upon the dotted line)

* Ernest Hemingway's quote concerning his ECT treatment.
Full quote "What these shock doctors don't know is about writers...and what they do to them...What is the sense of ruining my head and erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient."
