Skin o' My Teeth
I had wrists donning slitsFlowing constantlyMy broken body in a wreckWrapped around a treeA crosswalk hit and runThe finish line for mePeople clutter in the gutterTake a look and see
Chorus:No escaping painYou belong to meClinging on to lifeBy the skin o' my teeth
My blood flows through the streetsDeluge from the woundsEmpty jars of sleeping pillsOn the dresser of my roomMy wet brain neighbor cranesHis neck to see in time,The white lights a trainBearing down on me
Chorus
I won't feel the hurtI'm not trash any longerThat that doesn't kill meOnly makes me strongerI need a ride to the morgueThat's what 911 is forSo, tag my toe and don't forgetOoh to close the drawer
Chorus
