The Hammer and the Nail Lyrics
I've been disguised by sunken eye
I sleep in cars and shout at stars
The killer said I'm not quite dead
[Unverified] replied then I must hidePlease don't say I'm stuck in wood
That I could sink like metal should
And I see the ocean envelope me
Like I was meant to be a babyAnd I see the ocean envelope me
Like I was meant to be a babyAn old scrap heap, I heard him creep
He sawed the rust and struck at dusk
All my hope he crushed and choked
So my life won't wait inside this crateAnd please don't say I'm stuck in wood
That I could sink like metal should
And I see the ocean envelope me
Like I was meant to be a babyAnd I see the ocean envelope me
Like I was meant to be a baby, oh
