lyrics

Repeat our patterns like clockwork
The gears are turning why does this feel lodged?
Days go by and the ticking persists
But what’s it worth when the chime is absent?

How the fuck do I keep going
When I’m always stuck in waiting?
Sacrifice and rumination
Nothing but the time is changing

Hands are always pointing out
Pointing out so far away
Arms are never reaching out
Never reaching close to me

I once thought this was winding
Up in to so much more

Repeat our patterns like clockwork
The gears are turning why is it still lodged?
Years go by and the ticking persists
It’s all for naught when the chime is absent

Sacrifice and rumination
Nothing but the time is changing

How the fuck do I keep going
When I’m always stuck in waiting?
Sacrifice and rumination
Nothing but the time is changing

Hands are always pointing out
Pointing out so far away
Arms are never reaching out
Never reaching close to me

I once thought this was winding
Up in to so much more
I spent life stuck in motion
I’ve found hope in finally giving up
