Nail It Down

In or around this cold and broken sight
In the heat of events got one thing right
I walked through an invisible fire
I got burned i remember and i still got the scar
Like the loosened connection on your personal circuit
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it down
You know the thing with the sideways glance
In the heat of a moment there's a little chance
Little face with a painted grin
Comes the realization you must backwards walk in
If it tries to escape you through an open window
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it down
Step aside to miss the opening verse
Catch the full on blast of what's a little worse
Within a pond down inside somewhere
There's a rustle of quiet and the salt of the air
If it tries to escape you through an open window
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it down
Like the loosened connection on your personal circuit
Don't need a hammer just to nail it down, nail it down--nail it down
If it tries to escape you through an open window, nail it down,
Nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down, nail it down
