[Verse 1]
Start the count
Always measuring
With caution
Too often wrong
Deep as a dent
Constant settling
By design
Or incitement
[Chorus]
Make a mark
Upon the branch
Remove the first
Become the last to know
Straighten out the pieces found
Peeling back to see the ground (I know)
[Verse 2]
You hammer a nail
You hammer a nail
Into the platform
You hammer a nail
You hammer a nail
Into the platform
Be like a visitor
Greeted and answered for
