Skin of My Teeth Songtext
I see my reflection
Slow rising from a distance
Once scorned from the cove
Destined to walk this barren grove
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
Torn from the crawl
(From beyond the undertow)
A shining beacon of
What once was meant to be
My body keeps on climbing
My mind commanding me to stop
Can't be wasting away, fading away
Burning to know the truth
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
Now that I see you standing there
Commanding the awe without a care
Weighing the words with arrows thrown
The fruits of your heresy are grown
The distance you crave to stay unbound
The heights that you build to keep us down
A prison to capture flesh and bone
I'll come for your throne
You, I'll come for you
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
Slow rising from a distance
Once scorned from the cove
Destined to walk this barren grove
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
Torn from the crawl
(From beyond the undertow)
A shining beacon of
What once was meant to be
My body keeps on climbing
My mind commanding me to stop
Can't be wasting away, fading away
Burning to know the truth
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
Now that I see you standing there
Commanding the awe without a care
Weighing the words with arrows thrown
The fruits of your heresy are grown
The distance you crave to stay unbound
The heights that you build to keep us down
A prison to capture flesh and bone
I'll come for your throne
You, I'll come for you
These walls high above
Below, by the bare skin of my teeth I hold on
For life beyond
The fall that has crushed my soul
Flaying what is left inside
Reaching towards the light
I′m climbing high
