Bed Of Nails

One day I 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
That I can see you've got your own plans
Please don't drive your nails
Into this heart of mine
Heart of mine, this heart of mine

Oh, 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
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

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
Heart of mine
