Pocket Clock

V6

[VERSE 1 - FULL BAND ENTRY] Twenty-two moving pieces I know where every one should be Safety creeping toward the middle Corner showing press on three Line shifts left I change protection Nickel showing off the edge Play clock burning in my vision Seven seconds left Helmet cuts before the snap Doesn't matter, call is mine I know what they're trying to hide Before they cross the line Hands under center Crowd shaking concrete Set Go [CHORUS] Pocket clock Ticking in my head Three steps Plant Get it out before I'm dead Pocket clock Walls closing from both sides Read it Trust it Let it fly Pressure makes more sense When I can see it coming Pocket clock I don't need more time Give me four seconds I'll make them mine [VERSE 2] Snap hits clean Back foot lands Edge rusher bends around Guard gets driven toward my shoulder Whole pocket shrinking down First read covered Second bracketed Third one flashes underneath I climb one step Reset my hips Ball gone before he reaches me Helmet hits Turf comes fast Still hear the crowd erupt I don't need to watch it land I knew when it left [PRE-CHORUS] Noise before the snap Silence after That's the part I understand Pressure has a pattern Put the answer in my hands [CHORUS] Pocket clock Ticking in my head Three steps Plant Get it out before I'm dead Pocket clock Walls closing from both sides Read it Trust it Let it fly Pressure makes more sense When I can see it coming Pocket clock I don't need more time Give me four seconds I'll make them mine [BREAKDOWN - DRUMS AND GUITAR LOCK TIGHT] Blitz off the right Change the Mike Back checks inside Safety drops late Corner turns his hips That's enough Snap it [VERSE 3] Twenty-seven breaks outside Before I even turn to see Ball is already leaving That's what timing's supposed to be He knows where I'll put it I know where he'll arrive Half a step of separation Is all we need tonight No look needed No second guess Years built into the throw When the window isn't open We make one [BRIDGE] I can live with a bad read If I know why I made it Take the hit Watch the film Find the flaw Then change it Give me rules Give me coverage Give me something I can solve I don't fear pressure I hate pressure without cause Here the clock is honest Here the consequence is clear Four seconds of violence And I know exactly why I'm here [FINAL CHORUS] Pocket clock Hammer in my head Three steps Plant Throw it through the closing edge Pocket clock Whole field moving at once Read it Trust it Make the cut Pressure makes more sense When I can see it coming Pocket clock Let the whole thing collapse Ball is gone Before they touch me That's the difference That's the math [FINAL REFRAIN] Four seconds Twenty-two moving pieces One decision Make it clean [INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO] [Hard drums and distorted guitar resolve cleanly]
