Hammer And Strings (a Lullaby) Lyrics - The Glass Passenger - Jack's Mannequin

These hammers and strings been following me around 

From a box filled garage to the dark punk rock clubs 

Of 1000 American towns 

And my friend calls me up, 

She says, how have you been? I say dear I've been well 

Yeah, the money's coming but I miss you like hell 

I still hear you in this old piano, yeah 

She says Andy I know that we don't talk as much 

But I still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs 

Come on, write me a song, give me something to trust 

Just promise you won't let it be, just the keys that you touch 

Give me something to believe in, a breath from the breathing 

So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes 

'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping? 

It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide 

So I write you a lullaby, a lullaby 

These hammers and strings been following me around 

Behind passenger vans through the snow, dirt and sands 

Of 1000 American towns 

And my friend calls me up with her heart heavy still 

She says Andy the doctor's prescribed me the pills 

But I know I'm not crazy, I just lost my will 

So why am I, why am I taking them still? 

I need something to believe in, a breath from the breathing 

So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes 

'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping? 

It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide 

To the sleepless this is my reply, I will write you a lullaby, a lullaby 

Give me something to believe in 

So write it down, I don't think that I'll close my eyes 

'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping? 

It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide 

To the sleepless this is my reply I'll write you a lullaby 

A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby
