Of The Clock

A loose cannon in a new war spoke out today and we all heard
Iron defenses gave way like brittle bone and the sound was little more than a whisper
No worries
No clue
Better pay attention because they do
You came to wade and now you drown
Ivory towers climb the night sky
They burned the day they reached the sun
You spend your life giving to everyone
Now you need a fucking hand and they all run
Run
No worries
No clue
Better pay attention because they do
You came to wade and now you drown
A slip of the tongue
You begin to tumble
It goes so fast when you're on the way down
I didn't think I'd have to say it, but there's a price for every indecision made
The clock is ticking
There is so much time, but how the time flies when you just give it away

Disconnect

Here I am wandering again through the endless fields of nothingness
It's so easy to lose yourself there
A ghostly image led the way into a storm of broken promises
This call has been disconnected
We lost you again
Remember when the liars stole your heart away
The thieves deceived you and honestly
You have nothing left, nothing left I'm sorry to say
So, now you get to start over
Only this time wisdom fills your plate
Who needs their gold anyway?
I have a mountain of regret weighing on my head and it's just about to break my fucking neck
But I know I can't change the past
So just let go and come back
We're all out here alone
There's no point in hanging onto it
Do we need to rerun every painful episode that you know
You can't be sorry when you're gone

Lockdown

I tried to be all the things that she wanted me to be, but in the end it still amounted to nothing
Old love letters and faded pictures
A broken mind
A hardened heart
Once being naive now jaded
Done before the chance to start
I'm sick of being sick
I'm tired of being someone that I'm not
And I think I'll be fine without you knocking me down, dragging me out
I'll leave it all behind
Where's that girl I used to know?
Was love a broken promise or did I just not know?
Looking back on all of it I know to stay true to myself even if it means letting go
It's 3 a.m. and another sleepless night has come and gone
You know I've grown tired of this place
It's easier to run than to stand up and face your problems
Sometimes you just have to stand your ground and roll with the punches, and no one ever promised this was going to be easy

Old Town China Town

If you thought that I'd leave you to wander alone
Lost in the ramshackle parts of downtown
You've thrown too much away
I'll never treat you like you're dying
Try as you may
I'm never going to let you throw this one away
So, give me a hand here to help pick yourself up because this one has only begun
The memories will fade to the distance
The roads will all lead to nowhere, and then you'll know just what it was you had
Time continues to burn as we make our way through the ash

Oblivion

It's cold how you know how the vacancy in your heart welcomes me in
My head hurts with the failure that the door that was open just slammed in my face once again, and I can't stand this
You said yourself that nothing's forever
Now I can feel it all too well
This disposition delivers surrender
My emotions for you could lead me straight to hell
She walks on
I fall off into oblivion
So, you walked away and as fast as you did
I caved in, crumbled
How could I stop all this shit?
This weakness was new when you broke me in two, and you just cut me down so nothing fit
I can't believe it
This bleeding is cheating me out of my life and it's sewn deep inside
I'm stuck with this label
A deconstructed fable that love is the answer to all that is right, so I hide
Yes, I hide

Stagnant

I just can't get you off my mind
Doing nothing but drinking all the time
Life's just getting in the way
The odds are all stacked up and everyone's against me
I'm sick of hanging with the same fucking crowd
I just don't want to be around
You're so cynical and so judgemental
I can't, can't take a fucking step without someone breathing down my neck
Everything sucks
Everyone's fucked up
Why am I still even here?
Every day I'm with you has proven to shed tears
We don't even get along
I've been wasting time and I know I'm wrong
I'm tired of losing for you, but I've got nothing left to lose

Eventual Guilt

May your hands be as clean as the ones that you shake
So, don't you tell me all of this shit was a mistake
Just as you back down you know you did it to yourself
Just don't blame all the lies that you say you couldn't help
How many times must you forgive yourself before the eventuality of more emotional debris?
The past is stagnant
The future can be frail as we sit aside ourselves upon this beaten trail
This beaten trail
May your arms be as open as much as you say your eyes are because purity has broken free and guilt is through the charts
Just as you walk away
Don't look back
Don't you play with my heart
