Tooth and Nail

I’m telling you it’s bona fide
This feeling that I seek to hide, my
Twisted arm, it’s tongue-in-cheek
Let it slip, but not that week
Spider crawls across the scrim
But is he out or is he in?
Between the glass and window frame
In Purgatory or in pain?
Would you believe me if I said I didn’t have a clue
What the words will be until they make it unto you
You look away, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there
Look me in the eye, tell me that you’re unaware
Let it sit another night
Til it starts to sound right
Do I let it rot or let it age?
Pull the plug and disengag
Through the skin there’s tooth and nail
Fighting 'for I prvail
I choose my betters every day
And gauge my wage against decay
Would you believe me if I said I didn’t have a clue
What the words will be until they make it unto you
You look away, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there
Look me in the eye, tell me that you’re unaware
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You think it’s easy, but have you ever even had a clue? (Oh, oh, oh)
It makes me queasy, knowing that I don’t know what to do (Oh, oh, oh)
Every time I turn around, I’m possessed by bitter doubt
And when I walk, I’m gonna do it right this time
