Lyrics

Clockwork

Is anyone out there listening to what’s going on?
It’s not like anything that I’ve ever known…
Too many people questioning me, it blows my mind…
And now I feel like I don’t belong..

Looks like the world’s going crazy… Is it all about to come undone,
No matter what don’t forsake me, it’s the one and only life I know..

Sometimes in the day, all throughout the evening,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork,
Don’t care what they say, it’s what I believe in,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork.

Do you recall the day? The very same day I contemplated that I should walk away.
And with my state of mind, I proved you wrong somehow and now I
Feel like I truly belong..

Looks like the world’s going crazy… Is it all about to come undone,
No matter what don’t forsake me, it’s the one and only life I know..

Sometimes in the day, all throughout the evening,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork,
Don’t care what they say, it’s what I believe in,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork.

Sometimes in the day, all throughout the evening,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork,
Don’t care what they say, it’s what I believe in,
I just want to, I just want to be clockwork.
