Clockwork Lyrics by Inanimate Existence

Clockwork

2019

[Chorus]
The clock works against you
Time keeper for the reaper
Eats away a life that I can never renew
Deeds you can never undo
You have learned to accept what you have become
You've created a costume, forever trapped inside
A disguise you can never remove
How long will you be able to
Remember who you are?

[Verse]
The father of time peers through your soul eternally
He's sitting and laughing at your attempted masquerade
Every midnight like clockwork
He will sing his haunting serenade
And will you be afraid?

[Chorus]
The clock works against you
Time keeper for the reaper
Eats away a life that I can never renew
Deeds you can never undo
You have learned to accept what you have become
You've created a costume, forever trapped inside
A disguise you can never remove
How long will you be able to
Remember who you are?

[Post-Chorus]
Try as you may, there is no way to escape the clockwork
Try as you may, there is no way to escape the clockwork
Try as you may, there is no way to escape the clockwork
Try as you may, there is no way to escape the clockwork
My demise, and you won't survive
