Hammers and Nails - Viscera

And with a changing tide

A moment to reflect

A broken crown bearing down

Upon a weary head

Look in his eyes, you’ll see

A lifetime of regret

The signs of stress

The emptiness

The lack of self-respect

With a treacherous kiss

Decimate what’s left of a lifetime’s legacy

As a silent poison works its way toward the heart

With the deepest malice

Pull the trigger on the gun that’s known to never fail

Roles are clear and chosen

To be a hammer or a nail

Know what you are

Let the drowning man swim

This is a war that he will never win

But when the dust clears

There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with

But now he’s slowly sinking

Oh, now he’s slowly sinking

Like an anchor to the depths

The drowning man

With desire to protect

A tired man broken down

Now full of fear and dread

And in his eyes he’ll be

A shadow of himself

A broken tusk

A hollow husk

Crying out for death

With a treacherous kiss

Decimate what’s left of a lifetime’s legacy

As a silent poison works its way toward the heart

With the deepest malice

Pull the trigger on the gun that’s known to never fail

Roles are clear and chosen

To be a hammer or a nail

Know what you are

Know what you are

Let the drowning man swim

This is a war that he will never win

But when the dust clears

There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with

(But now he’s slowly sinking

Oh, now he’s slowly sinking)

Now let the drowning man swim

(Like an anchor to the depths)

This is a war that he will never win

(But now he’s slowly sinking

Oh, now he’s slowly sinking

Like an anchor to the depths)

But when the dust clears

There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with

Know what you are

But now he’s slowly sinking

Oh, now he’s slowly sinking

Like an anchor to the depths

The drowning man
