Nail on the Head

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
