| SKIN O' MY TEETH |
| 1. Verse
| I had wrists donning slits flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck, I wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run the finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter take a look and see
|
| Chorus |
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
|
| 2. Verse
| And my blood flows through the streets deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills on the dresser in my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes his neck to see in time
The white lights in a train bearing down on me
|
| Chorus |
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
|
| Solo
|
| 3. Verse
| I won't feel the hurt I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue that's what 911 is for
So tag my toe and don't forget ooh to close the drawer
|
| Chorus |
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
No escaping pain you belong to me
Clinging onto life by the skin of my teeth
