Bed of Nails

Lay yourself down on a bed of nails
Guard with your life the gilded veil
Sing to the void, your jaded soul
The path from us is paved in fool's gold

You seek redemption without penitence
A priceless return to innocence
So go on, tell yourself those lies
We both know it's you, you despise

Tell your secrets to quiet strangers
Heed the warnings, ignore the dangers
Speak cold truths to the silent wall
An unsteady crutch against the fall

Take deep breaths until you don't
A broken heart beats till it won't
Ask of me what you will
I will answer still

Take deep breaths until you don't
A broken heart beats till it won't
Ask of me what you will
I will answer still
