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
