Hammer from Pleasure Vision by Bacchae

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
