The Longest Nail

you had the confidence to be
everything you sought to be
it's the longest nail
but every love you did begin
take the hate and pound it in
it's the longest nail

and all your toys are broken
piled up in the corner
and all your dreams have gone away

where did you go?
the happy kid that made the third grade talent show
where did you hide?
the innocence that cherished the amusement ride

i heard they buried him
and that's where i am
i heard he rose again
and that's where i am

all the lies framed on the wall
hanging there, they fooled them all
by the longest nail
there's a ghost out on the slide
there's a haunting deep inside
it's the longest nail

and all your dead youth
lies around you in a circle
and all your dreams have gone away

where did you go?
the angel making angels in the winter snow
where did you hide?
the attitude of living for the brighter side

i heard they buried him
and that's where i am
i heard he rose again
and that's where i am
that's right where i am
