Zola Jesus - Nail lyrics

rate me

(Starts at 27:40 in the youtube link)

(Verse)

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

Cuz you've got the nail to my all

My origins ain't nobody's work

You've got the nail to my all

A numb tic-tok can't even control

(Chorus)

Set me free

Pull the nail out with your teeth

Set me free

Don't leave me wasted

(Verse 2)

Slave hits the coal

And every luck is turned to gray

Sounds try to talk

And the words make sense in their own way

But ? is a slave through it's owner

And I won't let nobody take it over

No, I won't let nobody take it over

And all my whole like I won't turn a shoulder

To the visions that keep us divided

Can't hold on the cry that keep me who I am

(Chorus x2)

Set me free

Pull the nail out with your teeth

Set me free

Don't leave me wasted
