My Toy Dinosaur

Lyrics

Verse 1
In the box by the bed
you still chew on my name
Plastic jaw, split grin
little killer, stay tame

Your tail scratches the wood
like a key in the lock
When the room goes still
you start to walk

You were born in my hands
from a cheap green mold
Now you stare from the dark
with a hunger so old

Pre-Chorus
Tick tick in my skull
hearing teeth in the wall
If I shut both my eyes
you come closer

I fed you my fear
now you know the taste
Say my name, toy monster
say it slower

Chorus
My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war

My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war

Verse 2
You got dust on your back
but your eyes stay wet
Like a kid I forgot
that I never met

When the lights all fail
you still breathe on time
Little fossil of hate
in a nursery rhyme

I hear rubber feet
on the hallway floor
Then that cracked little roar
from behind the wall

Pre-Chorus
Tick tick in my skull
hearing teeth in the wall
If I shut both my eyes
you come closer

I fed you my fear
now you know the taste
Say my name, toy monster
say it slower

Chorus
My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war

My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war

Bridge
Open wide
let the old night in
I can feel your jaw
on my skin

No more child
no more saint
You were never a toy
you were a fate

Breakdown
Rattle my bones
Rattle my bones
Small green god
with a throat of stone

Rattle my bones
Rattle my bones
Bite down hard
take me home

Final Chorus
My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war

My toy dinosaur
gnawing at my door
My toy dinosaur
I made this war
