Apophenia Lyrics by Inanimate Existence

Clockwork

2019

[Verse 1]
From my dreams I'm torn
Awoken by the sound of screams
So I spring forth
Smoke covered the ceiling
Scorching my lungs
So I crawled along the floor

[Verse 2]
Leaving behind all I own
Only once realized I was safe
I also realized that I was alone
It was now too late
To go back in
I felt helpless as I watched my room burn
My companion did not make it outside the shelter
Hiding under my bed
I know in his final moments he was terrified
The moment that I realized I had failed him
Will forever haunt me

[Pre-Chorus]
I had lost everything
But those things did not matter to me
Self-preservation
Became my priority

[Chorus]
You never know how you'll think
Until the moment comes when you must decide
And weight the value of your life
Against their life
How will you decide?
I'm alive and alone
I put myself before the ones that I love
And now I'm standing in the cold on my own
I've gotten my wish

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You never know how you'll think
Until the moment comes when you must decide
And weigh the value of your life
Against their life
How will you decide?
I'm alive and alone
I put myself before the ones that I love
And now I'm standing in the cold on my own
I've gotten my wish

[Bridge]
I can see the faces of the dead inside the fire
Only for a moment and they hastily dissipate
A million messages all forced into my brain
A million voices screaming in pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I had lost everything
But those things did not matter to me
Self-preservation
Became my priority

[Chorus]
You never know how you'll think
Until the moment comes when you must decide
And weight the value of your life
Against their life
How will you decide?
How will you decide when the moment has arrived?
You never know how you'll think
Until the moment comes when you must decide
And weight the value of your life
Against their life
How will you decide?
How will you decide when the moment has arrived?

[Verse 3]
From my dreams I'm torn
Awoken by the sound of screams
So I spring forth
Forever haunted by the nightmares
Their souls screaming out to me
From in my sleep

[Outro]
Do they live on in the flame?
Or are the embodiments a creation of apophenia?
