By the hand of God
By the skin of your teeth
Hanging by a thread
Sink your teeth in the meat
Honey, isn’t it sweet?
It’s impossible to fight gravity
Physical or not
Brings you to your knees
Just when you were strong
Won’t ask pretty please
Knows no right no wrong
Moving right along
Anywhere you go
You’ll see in their eyes
The dull deadness that cloaks
The fears that paralyze
Delivered as a joke
Cutting you down to a sizable or minimal
Remnant of a lethalized hoax
But it’s their hearts that broke
