Gravemind - Clockwork

I’m constantly looking at the time hoping that I’d slow things down
Somehow I’d slow every tick tick tick of the hand that spins
Always afraid that I’d miss out on every single moment
If I can't slow down
I’ll try to speed up my pace
Trying to race the clock to my destination
Only to find that I was worried about nothing
Yet no matter what
I commit to the thought that if I’m late
I’m a terrible person
Racing myself beyond whats needed
Oh god I’ve been defeated
Always trying to overthink it
And I’m afraid
It’s something I cant quit
I can feel it, constantly growing impatient
Awaiting the moment and I won't waste it
Prolonging time so I might stay a while
My failure’s mocking me while I fake a smile
Even when I lay alone
Time seems to mock me in the comfort of my home
I beg for simple sleep
Just let me rest for once I beg you
Just let me sleep
This always seems so familiar
Simple glance at the rear view mirror
If I’ve come this far
Why does it look like nothing's changed at all
The future scares me and it's always approaching
It’s always approaching
I don’t know what to expect
I know I asked this once before
But I want it more direct
Why do I race the clock
The tick tick tock of life and the hands that make it spin
Why won't you let me in
On your plot to make my brain rattle
I beg you please don’t fuck with me anymore
I’m a slave to this constant
I’m ashamed I can't stop it
I hope that things can change
But I know I’ll always be this way
This always seems so familiar
Simple glance at the rear view mirror
If I’ve come this far
Why does it look like nothing's changed at all
The future scares me and it's always approaching
It’s always approaching

:I feel as if I’ve burned through all I have left To try and get to you, stop wasting your breath Common sense has become such a rarity Its lack of presence has lowered your quality I miss the person who you used to be Not this vacant hole deeper than the eye can see Help me believe that you’ve always been the same Cause lately things have changed and you’re the one to blame Hey, I knew I would end up here Staring the mirror down feeling nothing but fear Hey, I knew I would end up here Sick of this carelessness why the hell am I still hereI’m fucking sick of my reflection it’s screaming back at me“You’re nothing what you used to be”I’ve burned more bridges than I care to admit All of this guilt was built from lackluster wit I hate this mirror and the reflection I see You’re nothing what you used to be.

You're there when it's convenient You never stood for this You labeled it a brotherhood Yet quickly you forgetWe were there when you have nothing We were present for your worst When you willowed in depression With your back against the earth You're sinking in deeper It's pulling you in To honestly think That it's gone to your head When you reach the surface Gasping for air Begging for help There’ll be no one there You walked away from a family All this has gone to shit No one would disagree A jaded hatred Spreading like a disease Consumed the person Who you used to be Distant, to a familiar face Omniscient, still you play ignorant You're sinking in deeper It's pulling you inTo honestly think That it'ms gone to your head When you reach the surface Gasping for air Begging for help There’ll be no one there You walked away from a family All this has gone to shit No one would disagree (disagree) A jaded hatred Spreading like a disease Consumed the person Who you used to be (used to be)

Shifting through the remnants dragging through the memories only makes it harder a dependence forged, enveloping all that holds a purpose in your mind its killing you slowly, youre wasting time (a sickness depicted) what did he do to earn a place inside this hell, your home forced into a grave you dug on your own hes better off without you (it's the ones you hold the closest that seem to hurt you most) you walk a road lined with shards of glass digging in your soles, staining the beaten path where clouds of smoke are swallowing your tracks you dragged him in knowing there's no way back and if this matters as much as you say this does sometimes means losing those used as a crutch do this for yourself, loosen the hand you clutch you watched it growing weak and bruise to your touch He put his life in your hands He put his life in your hands He put his life in your hands A Sickness depicted in a manner, so vivid stuborn, persistent and adiction so vivid and if this matters as much as you say this doessometimes means losing those used as a crutch do this for yourself, loosen the hand you clutch you watched it growing weak and bruise to your touch(to your touch)
