BATTLE OF THE LARYNX Lyrics – Melanie Martinez
Falling asleep at the arcade
Liquory chumps of your tongue
You used all your words for a quick game
Blew it all before you won
I speak in cursive, I’m poignant, dessertive
There’s musical chairs in my teeth
Poke me to battle, I’ll jump on the saddle
I’ll smile as you fall to your feet
And they talk without thinking
They bark while they’re shaking
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they’re chasing
While I’m steady pacing
My syllables hit the floor
How stupid, selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
I’ll wreck you if you chase me
But I’ll be silent ’til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
Call all your guys in the dive bar
They’ll give you the validation
Your daddy could never bestow you
While bloody, they’ll tell you’ve won
And they talk without thinking
They bark while they’re shaking
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they’re chasing
While I’m steady pacing
My syllables hit the floor
How stupid, selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
I’ll wreck you if you chase me
But I’ll be silent ’til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
And they talk without thinking
They bark while they’re shaking
With teeth that are round and dull
And they yell while they’re chasing
While I’m steady pacing
My syllables hit the floor
How stupid, selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
I’ll wreck you if you chase me
But I’ll be silent ’til you cross the line
The line, the line
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
So crude and selfish baby
Don’t you battle with my larynx tonight
