Hammers

Hammers

Were you really so foolish to think you could fly

Could you not see the cracks in your plan

And all of those darlings you're leaving behind

To wrestle their way through the land

They'll hammer on the strings and try to be heard

They'll hammer out their aching limbs

But what's there to cling to

With no one to sing to

Always chasing that feeling of home

You put your foot on the peddle

And it rang through your ears

All the seasons that passed

All those delicate years

The ringing gets louder

Till it cuts through the pain

You can feel her eyes on you

She whispers your name

They'll hold on so tight there's burns on their hands

They'll look for you in all the wrong places

Moon and the stars and the mountains of scars

So you watch the clouds passing by and you stare at the sun

You're reaching for some kind of sign

But the world waits for no one

And oh how, oh how you tried

You really really tried

And oh how, oh how you tried

You really really tried

They'll hammer on the strings they're just aching to be heard (x 5)

But what's there to cling to

With no one to sing to

Always chasing that feeling of home
