Bed of Nails

I can walk the bed of nails

I'm not the only one

But some, they cannot walk the jagged line

Callous, concentrating

For nails are sharp as lies

I run the jagged line

From years and years of practice

I know just how to stand

Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand

Prepared with boards and hammers

And several bags of nails

Well, I could build a wall to lean on

Roof above my mind

But I can see you've got your own plans

Please don't drive your nails into this heart of mine

Drive your nails

Don't drive your nails

Into this heart of mine

I can walk the bed of nails

Grin and bear the pain

But some, they cannot deal with all these things

And always sacrificing

For lies are sharp as nails

And all the pain it brings

Sometimes I just pretend that all the lies are true

And then I know I might depend on you

But if my concentration breaks

I'm washed away with pain

And then my feet begin to bleed upon my only bed of nails

And I'm stuck here in the middle of a sea of lies

Inside my bed of nails

Inside my bed

Inside my bed of nails

From years and years of practice

I know just how to stand

Alone with perfect balance, hand in hand

Prepared with boards and hammers

And several bags of nails

Well, I could build a wall to lean on

Roof above my mind

I can see you've got your own plans

Please don't drive your nails into this heart of mine

Well, please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine

Please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine

Well, please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine

Please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine

Please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine

Please don't drive these nails into this heart of mine
