Hammer and a Nail

[00:13.07] Clearing webs from the hovel
[00:15.85] A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
[00:19.56] I've been digging too deep
[00:22.20] I always do
[00:25.07] I see my face on the surface
[00:28.63] I look a lot like narcissus
[00:32.30] A dark abyss of an emptiness
[00:35.07] Standing on the edge of a drowning blue
[00:39.65] I look behind my ears for the green
[00:43.22] And even my sweat smells clean
[00:46.00] Glare off the white hurts my eyes
[00:51.45] I gotta get out of bed
[00:52.41] Get a hammer and a nail
[00:55.27] Learn how to use my hands
[00:57.91] Not just my head
[00:59.76] I think myself in a jail
[01:01.68] Now i know a refuge never grows
[01:04.39] From a chin in a hand
[01:07.17] And a thoughtful pose
[01:08.00] Gotta tend the earth
[01:09.83] If you want a rose
[01:19.01] I had a lot of good intentions
[01:21.81] Sit around for fifty years
[01:23.68] And then collect a pension
[01:25.40] Started seeing the road to hell
[01:27.35] And just where it starts
[01:30.95] But my life is more than a vision
[01:35.55] The sweetest part is acting
[01:36.45] After making a decision
[01:38.48] Started seeing the whole
[01:41.12] As a sum of its parts
[01:45.72] And i look behind my ears for the green
[01:49.33] And even my sweat smells clean
[01:53.08] Glare off the white hurts my eyes
[01:57.53] Gotta get out of bed
[01:59.30] Get a hammer and a nail
[02:01.22] Learn how to use my hands
[02:03.93] Not just my head
[02:05.88] I think myself in a jail
[02:07.67] Now i know a refuge never grows
[02:11.25] From a chin in a hand
[02:13.09] And a thoughtful pose
[02:13.93] Gotta tend the earth
[02:15.87] If you want a rose
[02:24.97] My life is part of the global life
[02:27.95] I'd found myself becoming more immobile
[02:31.83] When i'd think a little girl in the world
[02:33.65] Can't do anything
[02:37.74] A distant nation my community
[02:41.50] And a street person my responsibility
[02:45.26] If i have a care in the world
[02:47.17] I have a gift to bring
[02:51.81] I look behind my ears for the green
[02:55.58] Even my sweat smells clean
[02:59.25] Glare off the white hurts my eyes
[03:02.81] I gotta get out of bed
[03:05.53] Get a hammer and a nail
[03:07.31] Learn how to use my hands
[03:10.17] Not just my head
[03:11.99] I think myself in a jail
[03:13.79] Now i know a refuge never grows
[03:16.49] From a chin in a hand
[03:18.32] And a thoughtful pose
[03:20.23] Gotta tend the earth
[03:22.08] If you want a rose
[03:49.65]
