Lyrics
Skin O' My Teeth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
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 light's a train
Bearing down on me
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That death 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
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
