Bent Nail

I’m built to bleed, plan my ruin guiltlessly

A broken tool inside the shed

Give up the spring, then covet secretly

The breeze and scent stay far away

I’m caught between a beggar's teeth

Buried in the wilted roses and the pregnant weeds

Protest the stars eternally

You can pound away on me until my head's beneath

I’m built to bleed, plan my ruin guiltlessly

Another John who’s lost his head

I’m a bent nail, you’ve got no use for me

A monster for eternity

I’m caught between a beggar's teeth

Buried in the wilted roses and the pregnant weeds

Protest the stars eternally

You can pound away on me until my head's beneath

If you feel like letting go
