Alexipharmic - Awkward Clockwork lyrics

rate me

Trapped in a philosophical box - I wonder how I got lost

Dirt, dust, grime through the past brushed off

Memories - one by one - Fall like Niagara in my mind

I sit in the present, the sand trickles through time

It's inherently flawed, my perception of benevolence

Enveloped and engulfed self-constructed hesitance

It's evident the clock doesn't stop at my pleads

Forever instilling insecurity, never mindful of my needs

Interjections replacing, the never-ending cycle built

Draping over reality, enveloped time like a quilt

No choice, march forward - charge through it full tilt

Nothing can fulfill the unavoidable guilt

I'm forcing sand back in the glass, I can't prevent the cracks

Seems to split at the seams, there's no way I'm getting past that

I looked back at the clock, asked it's hands to turn back

And it just smiled, empathetically, recalling all who've asked to have that

Now an actor in a play, supporting my own laugh track

A reality show for the audience to gasp at

An archaeologist employed, uncovered remains

At the end of the day nothing changes, but stays the same

Where what I'm left with are fractured, shattered shards of my memory

Reconstructing past events by stories of what people tell me

As I uncover gravesites of some truths that I hold

Debating whether to dig or if some tombs are better left closed

Lo and Behold! I further reach the epiphany

The present is gone and turned the future to history

To remember me takes patience one must sift through the shoulds

And the coulds, to realize - if possible I would

Write my autobiography at the end when time's done

And write it backwards to the genesis, beginning, chapter one

I looked back at the clock, asked it's hands to turn back

And it just smiled, empathetically, recalling all who've asked to have that
