nail in my hand

 

 

I try so hard to get out

Still within reach of your clutch

You’re stuck between my ribs

And out of reach of my touch

 

You are my broken bones

You are my blurry sight

You are the tar in my lungs

That makes me cough at night

 

You are my twisted heart

Blind and deaf to any call

You are the nail in my hand

You hang me on the wall

 

Waiting in town – in a hot summer day

Waiting in vain – you’ve never gone away

You’ve never gone away

 

You are the break in my fingers

You are the straw in my eye

You are the beam hanging over me

Over me but out of sight

 

You are the amputation

You are condemnation

Incurable sickness, mortal disease

Something that tells me i don’t wanna heal

 

Waiting in town – in a white hot day

Waiting in vain – you’ve never gone away

You let me down – what you do and what you say

You get me pain – you’ve never gone away

You’ve never gone away

 

I still listen to you

Even now that I meet you with someone else

Someone who came after murder

When the sea quit roaring

And the mourning was gone

Will you leave him alone when the morning’s gone

As you’ve done to me

 

I still listen to you

Even now that I meet you with someone else

Someone who came after murder

When the sea quit roaring

And the mourning was gone

Will you leave him alone when the morning’s gone

As you’ve done to me

 

Waiting in town – in a hot summer day

Waiting in vain – you’ve never gone away

You let me down – what you do and what you say

You get me pain – you’ve never gone away

You made me feel so alone

So alone,

Though you’ve never gone away

Never, never, never
