The Subtle Way - Clockwork lyrics

rate me

So walk me through this house of cards that begs the world to shake

That mock the winds that carve the world from breaths we take

Step by step, show me how this holds together

When my tongue reaches the end of its tether

And I trust that this is clockwork, every piece its part

Cause that’s just how we roll, these gears don’t come apart,

And I’ve seen a clock strike harder than my second hand

And I’ve seen a shadow casting over my demands

So tell me young Euthyphro what makes us just

To love or to be loved my friend? Your words I can trust…

To run in circles about that which you speak

For I am your disciple, rare friend, enlighten me

Move me through your wisdom

From knowledge to truth

Show me how your fixed position tend to move

How do you detain them as you say I do?

It’s obvious that you’ve got something left to prove

And I’ve got a guiding passion guiding me home

And I’ve got all night… I’ve got news for you

There are things that you can see without eyes

There are things that you can see without lines

This is logic, the greatest of arts

This is logic, the truth you take apart

There’s not a flaw, if every piece has its part

There’s not a flaw, I’ll turn your world upside down

Because wisdom waits within its void

While you wheel, while you deal,

I’ll only watch the world bring you down
