I had wrists donning slits flowing constantly My broken body in a wreck, I’m 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 of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth And my blood flows through the streets, deluge from the wounds Empty jars of sleeping pills on the dresser in my room And 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 of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth I won’t feel the hurt, I’m not trash any longer You know that it doesn’t kill me, it 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, uh to close the drawer No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth No escaping pain, you belong to me Clinging on to life by the skin of my teeth
