- Alexipharmic - Awkward Clockwork Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Trapped in a philosophical box - I wonder how I got lost
- Dirt, dust, grime through the past brushed off
- Memories - one by one - Fall like Niagara in my mind
- I sit in the present, the sand trickles through time
- It's inherently flawed, my perception of benevolence
- Enveloped and engulfed self-constructed hesitance
- It's evident the clock doesn't stop at my pleads
- Forever instilling insecurity, never mindful of my needs
- Interjections replacing, the never-ending cycle built
- Draping over reality, enveloped time like a quilt
- No choice, march forward - charge through it full tilt
- Nothing can fulfill the unavoidable guilt
- I'm forcing sand back in the glass, I can't prevent the cracks
- Seems to split at the seams, there's no way I'm getting past that
- Chorus:
- I looked back at the clock, asked its hands to turn back
- And it just smiled, empathetically, recalling all who've asked to have that
- (4x)
- Now an actor in a play, supporting my own laugh track
- A reality show for the audience to gasp at
- An archaeologist employed, uncovered remains
- At the end of the day nothing changes, but stays the same
- Where what I'm left with are fractured, shattered shards of my memory
- Reconstructing past events by stories of what people tell me
- As I uncover gravesites of some truths that I hold
- Debating whether to dig or if some tombs are better left closed
- Lo and Behold! I further reach the epiphany
- The present is gone and turned the future to history
- To remember me takes patience one must sift through the shoulds
- And the coulds, to realize - if possible I would
- Write my autobiography at the end when time's done
- And write it backwards to the genesis, beginning, chapter one
- Chorus:
- I looked back at the clock, asked its hands to turn back
- And it just smiled, empathetically, recalling all who've asked to have that
