Plank by plank A smile on your face You've found your place And now you're nobodies fool A little everyday Ignore the vultures The signs will lead you astray But if you wear their coat and gait They'll never notice you Walking in circles like they do It's easy to be brave When you won't look me in the face When you don't know what's at stake So dig your grave I hope for your sake It's not as shallow as you Rats and snakes and vultures Will hold a service for you Your castle of pine won't keep you safe at night You found your place And now you're nobodies fool Don't ever doubt yourself No one has ever been half as clever as you And every word that leaves your mouth is brilliant And every word to leave your hand is unparalleled They don't know like you do They don't know And nail by nail You'll build your castle Inch by inch Your kingdom waits for you Rats and snakes and vultures Will hold a service for you Your castle of pine won't keep you safe at night You found your place And now you're nobodies fool When you look upon the bones of every waste before you I know you'll think of only fashioning a crown When you look upon the bones of every waste before you I know you'll think of only fashioning a crown They don't know A little every day Ignore the vultures The signs will lead you astray But if you wear their coat and gait They'll never notice you Walking in circles like they do It's easy to be brave When you won't look me in the face When you don't know what's at stake So dig your grave I hope for your sake It's not as shallow as you Vermin return you to the depths A eulogy they mourn you Skeleton crown on your head As you rot in the ground Vermin return you to the depths A eulogy they mourn you Skeleton crown on your head As you rot in the ground
