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
