ROOKE5 - Clockwork lyrics
On the sixty first minute of every pa**ing hour I sit here deliberate wonder where the power comes From, as the second hand on clock towers backward spun Contemplating all the time that the pendulum swung Let the continuum run, through the membranes and Endgames From memories won, now the epiphany's gone And it's fallen by the wayside, insight manifested And its shattered all of your pride, battered by the high tide While swimming ashore, attempt to use this spare day to seek & explore The horizon's of the past and the future in store For this week that has eight days, how you askin' for more? Momentary bliss and inspirational thoughts While your wasting away with a dysfunctional watch The keeper of the courtyard extended his plot To deceive you into twisting chronological knots In the timeline of happiness, reality lost Until you finally realize that the turret has stopped [Chorus] One year and one day, so sick I wanna run away Now It's one year and One Day, Come back and Meet me half way Now It's one year and one day, and these hand stop moving One year and one day, Let the Time Keep proving… One year, one day in the 25th hour The 53rd week, same damn clock tower Yet the hands haven't moved, calibrations help you prove That the timing is right, you got nothing to lose Then you ponder what to press no bu*ton for snooze They can't provide you any service with your sweater and boots Minutes loosen the noose, of the Movado you choose When its choking your wrist cause I believe its abused But it's a ticking time bomb that's not simply diffused Then the oscillator pushes and the powers removed No hands pressing on so your worries improve Let the minutes turn to hours, find the time to let loose Then you turn on channel ten to discover the news That a gear inside busted, restoration ensued And all that's let now is to tighten the screws Soon youre left to mull over how the present is used [Chorus] You had one day to change the three things you stand for Five words to say the sixth oath you swore Seven janky letters that led you to the eighth door Back to the elevator, UP to the ninth floor Clock chimes ten the hands are moving again And now your stuck wondering remembering when You had an extra day, times were simpler then But you took that time for granted it was foolishly spent Now you're back in the routine, stuck in cement So if you get an extra chance you don't need my consent To live it to the fullest with no life of regret But don't take my word even ben can attest [Chorus]
