歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Candle wax on the chart Brass dust in the heart Logbook entry number nine Tracing every jagged line The mainspring is far too tight In the middle of the night Tweezers hold a silver star Seeing where the echoes are [Pre-Chorus] The balance wheel skips a beat Like a ghost on a quiet street A minute is much too long When the copper gear is wrong I measure the friction of grief In a moment far too brief [Chorus] Oh let the pendulum swing Through every unsaid thing Time is a heavy gold chain Binding the joy to the pain The rhythm is broken and deep For secrets we promised to keep We wind up the silence and wait For a love that arrived too late [Post-Chorus] Tick-tock the memory fades In the velvet of the shades Tick-tock the metal is cold For the stories never told [Verse] Grandfather’s silver case Scratches on the porcelain face He spoke of the rising tides Where the heavy silence hides I oil the pivot point well Inside this mechanical shell But the escapement is caught On a lesson never taught [Pre-Chorus] The hairspring is tangled in blue With a longing that’s always true Counting what we both lost Calculating the heavy cost I measure the friction of grief In a moment far too brief [Chorus] Oh let the pendulum swing Through every unsaid thing Time is a heavy gold chain Binding the joy to the pain The rhythm is broken and deep For secrets we promised to keep We wind up the silence and wait For a love that arrived too late [Bridge] Mathematics of the lonely soul Trying to make the broken whole One beat for the stubborn pride Two for what we had to hide Physics of a falling tear Trapped within a tiny gear It’s a soft absurdity This clockwork anatomy [Verse] Jeweled bearings are still Against my academic will I adjust the regulator pin Where the regret begins to spin The watch doesn't track the sun Or the races that we won It counts the words left behind In the corners of the mind [Chorus] Oh let the pendulum swing Through every unsaid thing Time is a heavy gold chain Binding the joy to the pain The rhythm is broken and deep For secrets we promised to keep We wind up the silence and wait For a love that arrived too late [Post-Chorus] Tick-tock the memory fades In the velvet of the shades Tick-tock the metal is cold For the stories never told [Outro]
