Red Pillars - Hammer The Nail

The nine to five has me crawlin
Down on my hands and knees, and oh such misery

Barely bare to escape it
Sanity, I can barely repair it

I've been laughing about it
I've been playing the clown
No no, I'm not about it
All the painted on frowns

It's pins in the wall-
strikes so rough, and so long
Take a good look now-
so soon that I'll be gone

In a crowded place, a painted face
Suits me well

How the marching swells, tenderly-
the band will play, a constant sway, the vast experience

I'm working for so long

How I wanna take, from them all
Treat me well, I'm passing through a rough exterior

A clue for you all
The trouble that calls
My heaven, your hell
I'll hammer the nail

The light in the dark
We drink from the well
The spirit will lend-
its hand in the spell

I hold in my arms, what means most to me
I'd run without end, for times that I'm free
The light on the surface, projects like a fire
I'll conjure the facts, I'll conjure desire

What hides under covers, What hides within the seams
Who pledged me into this, It pledged itself to me
I hide within its ruins, It swims within my tears
I pledged myself to this, it drowns me now in fears

I won't go the way that's planned
I see the end, see where we stand
It's cold hard days, such cold hard nights
Oh day to day, a day's delights

So, a crowded place I'll go
Rain down on my work
I'll dance my little show

I'll mime me out the door
Rain down on my work
My play of little lies

I perfected my disguise
Rain down on my work
'Til the paint runs down my eyes

So, a crowded place I'll go
Rain down on my work

So, I'll dance my little show
In a crowded place I go
In my play of little lies-
'til paint runs down my eyes
