Hammerless Nail

[Verse 1]
Avoidance is my stock and trade
I do it almost everyday
'Til the days go by in a haze of okays
Lo-fi covers my every flaw
Yeah I never really learned to hem my haws
Maybe I never learned anything

[Chorus]
Maybe a war is what I need
A good haircut or a death in the family
I can't nail down just what is missing
The hammer's on it's way

[Verse 2]
Expectations ain't so great
When you wear 'em like a heavy weight
And you wait around expecting to wait
So here I stand, yeah I'm the nail
When the hit comes down I'm available
I'll be the one with the hard, hard head

[Chorus]
But when it comes, what will I say?
You just might get what you ask for, they say
I'll stick my head in the air and I'll proudly say
The hammer's on it's way

[Bridge]
The hammer's comin' down someday
Yeah I know the hammer's on it's way
The hammer's comin' down on me
Yeah I know the hammer's on it's way

[Verse 3]
Avoidance is my stock and trade
I do it almost everyday
'Til the days go by in a haze of okays
But the future's always bearing down
Guess it's time to get to tearing down
And building myself all over again

[Chorus]
Maybe a war is what I need
A good haircut or a death in the family
I can't nail down just what is missing
The hammer's on it's way
