[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] [Soft] I sat the phone face-up like an offering One-oh-nine still chewing on the dark Told myself I wouldn't look away If I kept watch, the pillars had to start One ten. The minute you stay on purpose The almost-before, the held-out hand Me trying to father an hour That never asked me for a plan [Verse 2] I used to let it find me in the hallway Receipts and dash-lights doing what they do Now I am the one in the doorway Making a ritual out of two If meaning wants a meeting I can be there when it knocks That's what I said to the ceiling While the second hand ate the clock [Pre-Chorus] [Building] Not a message Not yet Just a man Collecting debt [Chorus] 1:10, I waited like a cause Tried to pull the minute across Inner weather forcing weather outside A hand on a thing that has no side No sky, no beetle, no borrowed coat Just me, on time, for a train that doesn't tote If the world is one beneath the split This is how I refuse to miss it [Bass Solo] [Verse 3] [Soft] Jung never said to set a trap The scarab came because it came I know that and I do it anyway Hunger doesn't care about the name One ten is the prayer I won't admit One eleven is the one I chase One twelve already taught me better I still sit here anyway [Bridge] [Ethereal] Hexagram I threw until it flattered me Clock face I stared hollow, willing three You can call it need, you can call it craft You can call it nothing and still do the math The law of sequence doesn't owe me The law of meaning hates a leash [Chorus] 1:10, I waited like a cause Tried to pull the minute across Inner weather forcing weather outside A hand on a thing that has no side No sky, no beetle, no borrowed coat Just me, on time, for a train that doesn't tote If the world is one beneath the split This is how I refuse to miss it [Guitar Solo] [Outro] [Soft] One. And one. And oh. I see you coming. Don't you dare. [End]
