The Nails — Save Me

When the night comes down On this lonely town And the streets are as empty as my heart There's a clock on the wall With no time left at all And this house of cards is falling apart There's a voice in my head That says, "God's not dead." He's just quiet, quiet and waiting That's when my songs become prayers That hang in the air And my soul, my soul's elevating I'm singing save me from myself Save me from myself Save me from myself Save me I wear my pride well In a gentleman's hell I'm a creature of habit and hunger And when the shadows grow long You know that something is wrong, something's wrong And you're not, no you're not getting any stronger You've got to save me from myself Save me from myself Save me from myself Save me Well, turn the lights on I see the twilight is gone And the howling, the howlings are in the dark I'm on my knees and I beg the Lord, "Please Take your cold, cold hands from my heart." You've got to save me from myself Save me from myself Save me from myself Save me
