You are a broken clock Fixated on keeping time Persistent on my eyes to watch As the years go by As I've lost my pride You continue to lie And now routine has become the devils alibi Lost concepts of freedom and love Float but do not stay in my mind I am programmed to keep within the hours Despite their misguidance Despite their need to hurt and contain Shatter and refrain You are a broken clock That I thought I could fix But my hands are sore And my heart is weary And the time has never changed

Clockwork
You are a broken clock Fixated on keeping time Persistent on my eyes to watch As the years go by As I've lost my pride You continue to lie And now routine has become the devils alibi Lost concepts of freedom and love Float but do not stay in my mind I am programmed to keep within the hours Despite their misguidance Despite their need to hurt and contain Shatter and refrain You are a broken clock That I thought I could fix But my hands are sore And my heart is weary And the time has never changed
