Losing Teeth (Hour 10)

Such a maddening pain.
Incessant, pulsating pressure in the mouth
What is vanity next to agony?
Decay behind the lips, failing speech.

Incessant, pulsating pressure in the mouth
Tongue lingering upon the opened wound 
Decay behind the lips, failing speech
What insanity will find truth in this voice?

Tongue lingering upon the opened wound,
What is vanity next to agony?
What insanity will find truth in this voice?
Such a maddening pain.
