Pulling Teeth

I don't feel much anymore
But when I feel
I feel like shit
Decomposing slowly
I inch through life and fucking deal with it
Everyday is a personal hell
Trapped in my mind and left to dwell
If you strung me from my neck
I'd kick out the chair
With a smile on my face
As I gasp for air
Hell is not the fire beneath
But living through life
By the skin of your teeth
Heaven is not the sky above
But finding the part of myself
That I'm proud of
Everyday is a struggle to survive
Not afraid to die
Just afraid to stay alive
Everyday is a struggle to breathe
Everyday is like pulling teeth
Pull the teeth
From my goddamn mouth
Rip the flesh
From my goddamn bones
Strip my life of any fucking hope or value
Leave me to fade and die alone
Pulling teeth
Everyday is like pulling teeth
