Demi Lovato - SKIN OF MY TEETH Lyrics

Demi Lovato Lyrics

"SKIN OF MY TEETH"

Demi leaves rehab again
When is this shit gonna end
Sounds like the voice in my head
I can't believe I'm not dead

I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
I survived but it got harder to breathe
Asking why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
God damn it I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
I'm alive by the skin of my

The reaper knocks on my door
Cause I'm addicted to more
I don't need you to keep score
When I'm the one who's at war

I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
I survived but it got harder to breathe
Asking why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
God damn it I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
I'm alive by the skin of my

I'm just trying to keep my head above water
I'm your son and I'm your daughter
I'm your mother, I'm your father
I'm just a product of the problem

I'm just trying to keep my head above water
I'm your son and I'm your daughter
I'm your mother, I'm your father
I'm alive

I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
Won't you try and have some mercy on me
Asking why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
God damn it, I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
I'm alive by the skin of my

(I, I'm alive by)
(By the skin of my teeth)

With the release of "SKIN OF MY TEETH" on the 10th of June, 2022, Demi Lovato set off for a new rock era in her career. The song serves as the lead single of her 8th studio album "HOLY FVCK".

She said speaking to Rolling Stone in February of 2022, that this new sound would remind the "heaviness" of her first albums, "Don't Forget" and "Here We Go Again". She explained, "When I say heaviness, I don't mean lyrically, but heaviness as in some of the sound that I haven't done before, which is exciting. It's a new era reminiscent of my first era. [...] I'm ever-evolving, ever-changing. I'd like to put the rest of my music behind me and start fresh in this new era for this next album – but I do that every album cycle."

Demi describes "SKIN OF MY TEETH" as "an anthem for people that struggle with addiction".
