Tooth and Nail

[Verse 1]
I'm telling you it's bona fide
This feeling that I seek to hide, my
Twisted arm, it's tongue-in-cheek
I let it slip another week

The spider crawls across the scrim
But is he out or is he in?
Between the glass and window frame
In Purgatory or in pain?

[Chorus]
Would you believe me if I said I didn't have a clue
What the words will be until they make it out to you
You look away, but that doesn't mean it isn't there
Look me in the eye, tell me that you're unaware

[Verse 2]
I'll let it sit another night
Til it starts to sound right
Do I let it rot or let it age?
Pull thе plug and disengage

Under thе skin there's tooth and nail
Fighting for right, prevail
I choose my battles every day
And gauge my wage against decay

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Outtro]
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 paradigm
And when I want, I’m going to do it right this time
