Verse I Gears grind slowly behind my eyes Time ticks on, but no one dies Round and round the hours crawl A perfect prison built for all Pre-Chorus Hands move fast, but go nowhere Every future ends right here Chorus Clockwork fate—winding tight Built to run, denied the light Clockwork fate—steel and bone Born to serve, never own Verse II History repeats the crime Same old sins in borrowed time We call it choice, we call it free But the machine remembers me Solo Section (Twin harmony, rising tension) Final Chorus Clockwork fate—hear it hum Every endis already done
