Nail on the Head - Duke Special

In spite of yourself

You see things that I can’t see

Unearthing hidden diamonds from the coal

In spite of yourself

You speak in poetry

A knack of accidentally striking gold

I rattled the walls as I ran through the halls

Screamed every word that I knew

Only to find I’d been wasting my time

All of my noise couldn’t cut to the truth

There it goes, my hammer blow

Missing the wonder caught up in the thunder

Truth is told just under your breath

You hit the nail

You hit the nail on the head

From out of the din

I long for a reckoning

Is somthing waiting, aching to be told?

Dazzled by lights

Drawn to the empty highs

I wasted every sentence that I spoke

I rattled the walls as I ran through the halls

Screamed every word that I knew

Only to find I’d been wasting my time

All of my noise couldn’t cut to the truth

There it goes, my hammer blow

Missing the wonder caught up in the thunder

Truth is told just under your breath

You hit the nail

You hit the nail on the head
