Clockwork Enemy

Less is the measure of the pain you've learned to keep
Countless is the measure of the loss that burdens me
It leaves you restless, your soul contested
You can't wait, can't shake all the feelings deep down inside
You know death takes its toll on the peace in your mind
Nothing can drown out the noise, no matter what you destroy
No matter who you become, no matter what you avoid

And even when you pray for me, hate for me
I feel it in my heart but you couldn't have known
Time doesn't wait for me, it's breaking me
Weighing me down like an anchor in tow
You pulled the chains, tell me and I'll let them go
So really would pray for me, hate for me
Even though time's gonna break me down

Feel the clockwork enemy now
Feel the clockwork enemy
Crush foundations of everything you know and love
But never make a sound

You're colder now than you said that you'd ever be
Brace yourself, try to live in the reverie
Eyes closed, blood cold, please don't let go

And even if time stood still
I would never feel human again

Watching the hours bleed into days
Too many years spent chipping away at me

And even when you pray for me, hate for me
I feel it in my heart but you couldn't have known
Time doesn't wait for me, it's breaking me
Weighing me down like an anchor in tow
You pulled the chains, tell me and I'll let them go
So really would pray for me, hate for me
Even though time's gonna break me down
