clockwork

kings fought for wisdom

for truth and love

and they watched for a sign

sent from above

blind to the fact

that it was hidden in plain sight

hopeless to find their soulful light

can you hear the bells

ringing like screams

can you hear the sound

filling up your dreams

can you feel the gears

spinning in your head

will you choose to stay

or leave instead

sometimes the clockwork in my mind

synchronizes with yours in time

now you can forget what i've done wrong

because our clockwork is spinning on

i fought for something i couldn't know

it took me too long to let it go

depending on you was too much to ask

when finding myself was its own hard task

can you hear the bells

ringing like screams

can you hear the sound

filling up your dreams

can you feel the gears

spinning in your head

will you choose to stay

or leave instead

sometimes the clockwork in my mind

synchronizes with yours in time

now you can forget what i've done wrong

because our clockwork is spinning on

please forgive me

i've caused enough pain

you can't save me

i've lost my own game

so i'm dusting off

this old machine

i call a heart

i'm coming clean

and putting cogs

back in their place

and wiping shame

right off my face

can you hear the bells

ringing like screams

can you hear the sound

filling up your dreams

can you feel the gears

spinning in your head

will you choose to stay

or leave instead

sometimes the clockwork in my mind

synchronizes with yours in time

now you can forget what i've done wrong

because our clockwork is spinning on

because our clockwork is spinning on
