Lyrics
The Stopped Clock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We reconnected and it felt like no time past at all
The guilt, it was lifted when you told me that it's no one's fault
Had I neglected my promise to see you made whole?
Do I seem unaffected by the years that we lost that time has forgot?
A stopped clock that never tells its secrets
All unburdened you from
The sense that you're running out of time
Yet still you tell yourself the lie that you may one day outrun
A stopped clock that's always never right, never right
This unforgiving weight of discontent that fills my head
Pulls me ever closer to the ocean floor
Achieving nothing but disdain for all these wasted days
Losing you was nothing I accounted for
It's little wonder that we lost the art of inner peace
Help me find the stillness in the storm
We may be transient, somehow you are limitless
The very act of turning back the time just kills more
A stopped clock that never tells its secrets
All unburdened you from
The sense that you're running out of time
Yet still you tell yourself the lie that you may one day outrun
A stopped clock that's always never right, never right
There's no return
There's no forgiveness
Through the pain and trauma, the latter breeds the former
Lay to rest or lay to bare my soul
All my loss and gains, they're one and the same
There's a lesson somewhere here to guide us all
Half life
We'll travel
Midnight
Unravel
Setting scene in soliloquy
Exits danger right they say
A panic sets in
How long have I been standing here?
And why can't I hear the music? Why does the band not play?
Repetition legitimizes
So once again I withhold proceedings
And in all truth, the silence is deafening
And I can't help but revel in the defeat
Why I inflicted this on you?
This is my agency, this strange, curious revery
Recursive, eclipsing
Darling, this is far beyond theater
I have become majesty
It's breathtaking
You'll love me, even as dust
A stopped clock that's never right
