Nail - Zola Jesus

How am I supposed to survive?

If I don’t know what’s wrong and what’s right

How am I supposed to know freedom?

If I don’t know, I’m living inside

Cause you’ve got the nail to my all

My only chance to know what is what

Cause you’ve got the nail to my all

An object i can’t even control

Set me free

Pull the nail out with your teeth

Set me free

Don’t leave me wasted

The slave hits the cog

And every neck is turned to grey

The silence turns to thaw

And the words make sense in their own way

But tradition is a slave to it’s owner

And i won’t let nobody take it over

No i won’t let nobody take it over

And on my own life i won’t turn a shoulder

To the fissures that keep us divided

Can’t hold on the quiet

Can’t keep me away

Set me free

Pull the nail out with your teeth

Set me free

Don’t leave me wasted
