Tokyo in My Teeth

Track 11 of Velvet Altitude

[ Lyrics ]

Got Tokyo in my teeth, can’t bite you off my mind.
Got Tokyo in my teeth, can’t bite you off my mind.

Lost in Shinjuku smoke, midnight on my tongue,
your name’s a tattoo I never had done.
Red lanterns flicker, buzz through my veins,
swallowed all the silence, now it’s calling your name.
I said I was over it, said I was clean,
but your ghost rides shotgun in this Tokyo dream.
Two shots of courage, still not enough—
I swipe left on strangers just feelin’ your touch.

City’s on fire but I’m froze in the glow,
watching our shadows in the konbini window.
I don’t want you back, I just want the high,
of a love that burned but never said goodbye.

Got Tokyo in my teeth, can’t bite you off my mind,
every cab ride feels like crossing the line.
Neon in my blood, still tasting your lies,
half a world away but you’re deep in my stride.
Got Tokyo in my teeth — yeah, you’re stuck in the grind,
chewin’ on memories I keep left behind.

Ran into your vibe on a Harajuku beat,
someone laughed like you in a smoke-woven street.
I followed the frequency, pulse in my chest,
but it’s just the city playin’ tricks on my rest.
Texted my best friend: “I’m not fallin’ again,”
then stared at your IG like it’s holy communion.
I delete, I reload — same cycle, same pain,
I’m a tourist in feelings I can’t claim.

I don’t need a future, I just need a release,
from the echo of us that won’t cease.
So I dance in the chaos, let the bass hit my core —
if I move fast enough, I won’t feel you anymore.

Flash of green light, traffic like rain,
love was a fever, now it’s just a name.
I don’t miss you, I miss the flame,
the chaos, the rush, the wilder game.

Got Tokyo in my teeth, can’t bite you off my mind,
every cab ride feels like crossing the line.
Neon in my blood, still tasting your lies,
half a world away but you’re deep in my stride.
Got Tokyo in my teeth — yeah, you’re stuck in the grind,
chewin’ on memories I keep left behind.

Tokyo… in my teeth.
