Clockwork

[Verse]

Oh no, making time up so there's control

Nine-to-five to keep this cycle going

Stress is blowing up my dome

It's not my preference, though

So the sun is rising so we crawl out-

Out of bed

To burn the candles at all the ends

No wax left to melt, we're a mess


[Pre-Chorus]

Time, it haunts me like a stalker

In the bushes waiting for the moment I am still

To make me rush, make me ill

Pressing forward like a remote

All the damage done to my soul

Worrying about the past, the myths and future doubts


[Chorus]

Clockwork, time ain't ticking no more

Waste your chances, one more

Waiting 'round the corner

Reality's choosy, time's never losing

All of the pending dimensions you're cruising, ah-ah
