Clockwork And Coal

You’ll say I’ve lost my mind
But these years of would-be left behind
Well they’ll just hide
In your soul
They’ll hide in your soul
I know, I know
We’ll remember these embers and coal
But this love was not heart and soul

Oh if you could turn us back
Just like clockwork
If we both could just repaint
This tattered artwork

The night you broke inside
Queen of closeted passion
I wished that I had only tried
I wish this old house weren’t ashen

Little clocks
I know, I know
Why wont they leave you alone
But you’ll open up again
Your striking skin and bone

Little cracks I saw, I saw
In the bricks of our walls
Oh the ache, the guilt, the awe
As it crumbles and falls
