"Skin Of My Teeth" lyrics

"Skin Of My Teeth"

I quit
I can't keep punching myself out like this
I thought I knew how this would read, plot twist
This self-destruction was just the start of it
Was just the start of it

Destroyed
My voice just phases out like white noise
Cast another net and scream into the void
My time is up, my patience wearing thin
Here we go again

God loves a steady hand
But I'm shaking

Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
See you when I see you, catch you up to speed
The street is my tuition, and I paid my fees
Hanging on a dream by the skin of my teeth

Red tape
This indecision's getting more than I can take
Play it again so it don't look like a mistake
I think I'm running, I'm not sure what I'm becoming either way
My hands are clean, I fled the scene, say what I mean another day

God loves a master plan
But I'm breaking

Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
See you when I see you, catch you up to speed
The street is my tuition, and I paid my fees
Hanging on a dream by the skin of my teeth

It's my party, and I'll die if I want to
It's my party, and I'll die if I want to

Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
See you when I see you, catch you up to speed
The street is my tuition, and I paid my fees
Hanging on a dream by the skin of my teeth

Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
Everybody's talking, doesn't bother me
