Rip out the clockwork beneath my skin
Knock down this faulted exterior
Leave the gloss of my eyes to dust
Eternity will take its toll
This waiting is unjust
Shadows move across my face
And the sun makes me sick
But I can't even begin to alter how
Time has swallowed me
I am forever trapped here now
Throw the endless hour glass
Hard against the wall
Take out my gearset heart
Unwind that twisted dial
Before I fall apart
