Pulling Teeth

Pulling Teeth - Stemm

It's beginning

It's beginning to take shape

But are you listening

How much more do I have to take

There's fingers in my face take a number for the blame

I never said I was perfect it was you that lost the game

And I can't believe but now I see

It's just like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve but I feel ok

And I don't have to live this way

Smoke and mirrors

Mirage of trust for the hole that you dug

No grass to green

To catch the eye of the wandering dog

No pages long enough for my words to go unsung

Sad to think this is where you wanted to wind up

And I can't believe but now I see

It's just like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve but I feel ok

And I don't have to live this way

Through it all you're still tired and miserable

How much more do I have to say

Or should I play

God damn

It feels like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve

But I feel ok and I don't have to live this

I don't have to feel like

I don't have to live this way
