"Pulling Teeth" lyrics - OF MICE & MEN

Time stops for no man
The end awaits us all
The seconds sing our eulogies
We're trapped inside of
The belly of the beast
With nothing but our memories
And they too fade

And it's just like slowly pulling teeth
Until your fingers bleed
Ravenous and incomplete
A hunger that you can't feed

The faultlines of life
Begin to separate
And grace us with catastrophe
We stare over the edge
Into the vast and open space
While the ground on which we stand
Disappears

And it's just like slowly pulling teeth
Until your fingers bleed
Ravenous and incomplete
A hunger that you can't feed
And it's just like slowly pulling teeth
Until your fingers bleed
Ravenous and incomplete
A hunger that you can't feed

I thought I was prepared
That I was up to the task
I said, "I'll be okay."
And then my world collapsed

Piece, by piece, by piece
Like slowly pulling teeth
Slowly pulling teeth
