Clockwork

(album: Make A Sound - 2004)

You're probably sick of being tired
You can't find the strength to close your eyes
You can't let go but you can't change everything
Stuck lying in this burning bed

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound
At least for now

Time's going to warn you with a whisper
When it wants to let you know
You can't live in fear of the things that aren't for sure
So stay alive by playing dead

Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
Don't fail me now
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound

Still there are lines for us to write before we close our eyes
And only time will tell the ending when the ink runs dry
And time will tell everything
It's ever so quiet counting down

(I wrote this down, and left it there,
To blow it out of my hands, and stare at it,
The drops ran down, I tried to turn around
But the blood was a small price to pay
And it made it real, it made it real because...
I wrote this down, and left it there,
To blow it out of my hands, and stare at it,
The drops ran down, I tried to turn around
But the blood was a small price to pay
And it made it real, it made it real because...)

Write it on the walls and read it
Blood red so you can see it
Life leaking out
Write it on the walls and read it
Until there are no secrets
So safe and sound
At least for now
At least for now
