Skin of My Teeth

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's 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's 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, 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's left inside

Reaching towards the light

I'm climbing high

I'm climbing high
