I hated brushing my teeth this morning,
Sodium fluoride only cleans so much,
And things got pretty bad without warning,
It all comes back when you wake up.
In a blackout he screamed "It's not fair,
You don't deserve what's happening to you,"
I held him close and cried into his hair,
And said "Nothing is further from the truth,"
For November and the pain you bring,
for November with love from me.
I stared at the tree line, black like your eyes,
And remembered the first snow of the year,
The line between death and being alive,
I'm gonna close my mouth and pretend like I belong here,
Snow angels are white and amphetamines are blue,
I'm gonna try so hard tonight, gonna try not to think about you.
For November and the pain you bring,
for November with love from me.
