Hammer

I took a hammer
I brought it down;
I took a scalpel to my heart
And turned it inside out
I turned the light off
I closed the door;
Let go the actor playing my
Role in my life before
I returned to somewhere that I hated once
And found how much I’d changed
And in my mind, reviewed my time
And conquered all the hurt that still remained
Oh it’s changing; oh it’s changing now
I wrecked my body once
Destroyed my soul;
I dug around too hard
To excavate an empty hole
No more unfaithful now;
No more unkind
Impatient ignorance
When facing all this fleeting time
I returned to somewhere that I hated once
And found how much I’d changed
And in my mind, reviewed my time
And conquered all the hurt that still remained
Oh it’s changing; oh it’s changing now
With my hand I took a hammer
Brought it down and made it better
With my hand I took a hammer
Brought it down and made it better
With my hand I took a hammer
Brought it down and made it better
With my hand I took a hammer
Brought it down and made it better
