the nail
jesse myers 1996-2009

VERSES
BETTER OR WORSE IS SUBJECTIVE AT BEST
I CAN BARELY SQUEAK BY IN THIS LIFE IN THIS TEST
AFTER ONE DAY OF TRIUMPH DEFEAT MANIFESTS
I GET LOST AS I WANDER THROUGH MY WILDERNESS

SOME THOUGHTS HAVE BEEN ACCURATE SOME HAVE BEEN LIES
I’M SEARCHING WITHIN MYSELF LOOKING FOR SPIES
A MUTINY WITHIN ME HAS BROUGHT MY DEMISE
THE ENEMY IS ME I NOW REALIZE

I WANT TO DEVELOP AND GROW AND MATURE
I WAKE UP EACH MORNING AND BITE THE SAME LURE
I CHALLENGE MY DOUBTS JUST TO PROVE THAT I’M SURE
I CONTINUE TO LOOK TO MYSELF FOR THE CURE

BRIDGE
I AM THE NAIL

NOT A BLESSING
NOT A CURSE
NOTHING BETTER
NOTHING WORSE

CHORUS
WHO I’VE BEEN AND WHO I’LL BE
WHAT I’VE DONE WHAT’S NEXT FOR ME
I’M FLOODED WITH ANXIETY
CAN I ACQUIRE SERENITY
NOT MY WILL BE DONE BUT THINE
BECAUSE YOUR WISDOM CONQUERS MINE
I’M WRETCHED PITIFUL NAKED AND BLIND
WHY CAN’T I FOLLOW YOUR DESIGN

about

After the Mourning Temple, Texas

After the Mourning is perpetually writing and recording the next two albums. Each album includes loud music and shouting, broken up by instrumental interludes.

The songs have elements of music from another era, but incorporate novel concepts that keep each track dynamic. This merging of nostalgia and uniqueness keeps each album engaging from the opening chord to the final resolve.
