[Verse 1]
Running face first into hell on earth
I’ve tried pills, I’ve tried church
I think I’d rather suffer
I always feel worse before I feel better
Oh I crash and I burn
I try to run for cover
[Pre-Chorus]
Caught in the teeth of the real world
[Chorus]
One by one we all get mauled
Damn it all, damn it all
[Verse 2]
Running face first into hell on earth
Taking turns getting burned
I line right up to get hurt
I’m really not sure
Trying to cure my self worth
Is worth all the trouble of being vulnerable
[Pre-Chorus]
Caught in the teeth of the real world
[Chorus]
Onе by one we all get maulеd
Damn it all, damn it all
[Chorus 2]
I can't cope
I haven't died but I've come close
I tried to breathe but I just choked
I felt your hands around my throat
[Bridge]
Oh I tried to go outside
I'm not shy, I'm horrified
Of the taste of the decay
It follows me til I fall
And I'll fight to come untied
From this life, I'm undermined
Oh it hits me like a wall
Damn it all, damn it all
(Caught in the teeth)
Oh I tried to go outside
(Of the real world)
I'm not shy, I'm horrified
(One by one we all get mauled)
Of the taste of the decay
(Damn it all, damn it all)
It follows me til I fall
(Caught in the teeth)
And I'll fight to come untied
(Of the real world)
From this life, I'm undermined
(One by one we all get mauled)
Oh it hits me like a wall
(Damn it all, damn it all)
Damn it all, damn it all
[Chorus 2]
I can't cope
I haven't died but I've come close
I tried to breathe but I just choked
I felt your hands around my throat
No I can't cope!
Haven't died but I got close!
I tried to breathe but I just choked
I felt your hands around my throat
