Dreaming Black Clockwork

(album: The Work - 2021)

Light
Was it the last thing we saw?
This hesitation stuck in my jaw
Life
Was it all just a dream?
Keep moving forward, marching full steam
Oh, no there's no coming back from this
I cease to exist because I'm dreaming black clockwork again

There's so much pain now
But I can't resist
I touch my wrist and I've been dreaming black clockwork again

Oh can't you see me baby?
Oh can't you see that I'm dreaming?
Cracks in the foundation as we writhe within frustration once again

A lonely day is spent, I've been
Waiting up nights for you
Hoping you see this through
All we do is waste time
Thinking about you
I hope your dream comes true
I know you feel it too

Chasing
The feeling
You know
That you're dreaming
The meaning
Is missing
Phantoms
Stuck in your way
God, oh there's nothing more to give
Tear down the clockwork
Become unhinged
Oh, is there something I had missed?
The pulse resets now
The final click
Oh, no there's no coming back from this
I cease to exist because I'm dreaming black clockwork again
There's no confusion, I made this wish
This life is bliss since I've been dreaming black clockwork again

Oh, can't you see me, baby?
Oh, can't you see me?
'Cause I've been dreaming
Cracks in the foundation as we writhe within frustration once again
