The Glass Face

[Intro]
[Verse]
Bring me your broken brass
Under the cracked glass
I hear the gears sigh
Watching the years die
Hand me the silver latch
Lift up the dusty patch
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the rising tide
You pay a heavy cost
There is no place to hide
Your golden youth is lost
[Chorus]
I drink the seconds slow
Watch them grow
I feed on every dark regret
A bitter debt
Tick, tack, the heavy gears spin
New days begin
I steal your fading golden light
Made forever bright
[Post-Chorus]
I live forevermore
Behind this wooden door
Upon the dusty floor
I keep the secret score
[Verse]
The mainspring starts to break
A choice you had to make
Written on yellowed lace
Inside the rusted case
I wind the tiny key
You leave your grief with me
[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows start to crawl
The pendulum swings low
You lean against the wall
And watch your spirit go
[Chorus]
I drink the seconds slow
Watch them grow
I feed on every dark regret
A bitter debt
Tick, tack, the heavy gears spin
New days begin
I steal your fading golden light
Made forever bright
[Bridge]
The old cathedral bell
Rings a heavy knell
I swallow all your silent tears
To steal a hundred years
I never will grow old
Heart is cold
[Chorus]
I drink the seconds slow
Watch them grow
I feed on every dark regret
A bitter debt
Tick, tack, the heavy gears spin
New days begin
I steal your fading golden light
Made forever bright
[Outro]
