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
