Hammer

It was a difficult decision

But every drop of water was a lake

And I guess I had a vision

Of every unavoidable mistake

Though I never had a white flag

I surrendered you my every vital sign

But the thing about the heart is

It beats with no instruction from the mind

You came into the kitchen and you laid me on the table like a meal

I won't recover in a heartbeat

You could hammer a nail with the way I feel

You won't find us in the Bible

But the story's parabolic at the core

I'm just singing this recital

In the hope that they might one day find a cure

And our bodily components

And everyone that knows them came from stars

But the thing about the mind is

It has no consideration for the heart

You came into the kitchen and you laid me on the table like a meal

I won't recover in a heartbeat

You could hammer a nail with the way I feel

And maybe I'm a naysayer

And probably the best is yet to come

I will recover in a heartbeat

I'll be born again with the morning sun
