Hammer and Nail

[00:13.72] clearing webs from the hovel
[00:17.09] a blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
[00:20.33] i've been digging too deep
[00:22.35] i always do
[00:27.14] i see my face on the surface
[00:30.28] i look a lot like narcissus
[00:33.33] a dark abyss of an emptiness
[00:36.02] standing on the edge of a drowning blue
[00:40.24] i look behind my ears for the green
[00:43.50] and even my sweat smells clean
[00:47.18] glare off the white hurts my eyes
[00:51.97] i gotta get out of bed
[00:53.72] get a hammer and a nail
[00:55.53] learn how to use my hands
[00:58.52] not just my head
[01:00.11] i think myself in a jail
[01:02.19] now i know a refuge never grows
[01:05.42] from a chin in a hand
[01:06.93] and a thoughtful pose
[01:08.57] gotta tend the earth
[01:10.45] if you want a rose
[01:19.92] i had a lot of good intentions
[01:22.82] sit around for fifty years
[01:24.48] and then collect a pension
[01:26.29] started seeing the road to hell
[01:28.40] and just where it starts
[01:33.13] but my life is more than a vision
[01:36.06] the sweetest part is acting
[01:37.96] after making a decision
[01:39.49] started seeing the whole
[01:41.92] as a sum of its parts
[01:46.58] and i look behind my ears for the green
[01:49.38] and even my sweat smells clean
[01:53.46] glare off the white hurts my eyes
[01:58.43] gotta get out of bed
[02:00.03] get a hammer and a nail
[02:01.84] learn how to use my hands
[02:04.97] not just my head
[02:06.25] i think myself in a jail
[02:08.49] now i know a refuge never grows
[02:11.88] from a chin in a hand
[02:13.43] and a thoughtful pose
[02:15.16] gotta tend the earth
[02:16.80] if you want a rose
[02:26.67] my life is part of the global life
[02:29.68] i'd found myself becoming more immobile
[02:32.71] when i'd think a little girl in the world
[02:35.07] can't do anything
[02:39.60] a distant nation my community
[02:42.65] and a street person my responsibility
[02:46.04] if i have a care in the world
[02:52.25] i have a gift to bring
[02:52.77] i look behind my ears for the green
[02:56.27] even my sweat smells clean
[02:59.74] glare off the white hurts my eyes
[03:04.77] i gotta get out of bed
[03:07.27] get a hammer and a nail
[03:08.48] learn how to use my hands
[03:11.13] not just my head
[03:12.93] i think myself in a jail
[03:14.88] now i know a refuge never grows
[03:18.16] from a chin in a hand
[03:19.72] and a thoughtful pose
[03:21.27] gotta tend the earth
[03:23.02] if you want a rose
[03:26.56]
