"Clockwork" lyrics

"Clockwork"

I want to know the first time you felt the weight of your hate

Prepare my fucking grave that will seal my fate
The last nail in the coffin should lock me away
Can we clean up the mess we've made
Our current state is controlled by our mistakes

Suffering, so serene
We thrive on pain
Turn a blind eye to our obscenities
Peace is tough to stomach when the war's inside of me

How can we quiet the madness
When it's the only thing we know
How can we bury the malice
When it's so easy to give in

Watch the walls as they tremble
It's what we deserve
Watch humanity crumble and righteousness burn
Left to wander the ashes of all we destroyed
But God, did it feel so good

Cutting the deadweight of all who oppose my rage
Compromise our morality, what did we win
Blood is boiling beneath your skin
The swords that were stained
Was this worth what we have payed

How can we quiet the madness
When it's the only thing we know
How can we bury the malice
When it's so easy to give in

Watch the walls as they tremble
It's what we deserve
Watch humanity crumble and righteousness burn
Left to wander the ashes of all we destroyed
But God, did it feel so good

Prepare my grave

Watch the walls as they tremble
It's what we deserve
Watch humanity crumble and righteousness burn
Left to wander the ashes of all we destroyed
But God, did it feel so good

Prepare my grave
