Clockworks - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Dismantling the clockwork that makes me the cynic

Pallet, wheel, and click

The properties of my indifference

Reverse-engineering what makes it tick

Dissecting the fine-tuned mechanism

Rack and barrel, spring and pin

Its synchronous characteristics

To kill what makes it spin

[Refrain]

Disassemble this machinery

Reprogram these eyes, undo this design

[Verse 2]

Labelled and filed, each part indexed

Broken to pieces, then thoroughly burned

Deconstruction of what I am

Buried to make sure he never returns

Taken apart, defused

Blueprints turned to ashes

Eradicate the last remains

Remnants of the insane

[Chorus]

Disintegration

The destruction of me

Now imperative

To purge myself

Of this condition

Complete this dissolution

A necessity

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Break

This deceitful machine

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

A lie, what once I was

Obsolete instrument

An outmoded contraption

A malfunctioning device

That callous self now extinguished

That malignant self now disused

That conceited invention

To nothing now reduced
