Grind Your Teeth
Embracing Night's Turmoil: Ostrea Lake's 'Grind Your Teeth' Revelations
Lyrics
Even when you're five years old you can wake up sad
Even at a young age, one can experience sadness upon waking up.

Even when you're half asleep and your minds at peace

Now you're dreaming things

But you grind your teeth at night

Now your eyes are closed

But your body knows wake up
