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
