Broken
By this life before me, endlessly draining
Awoken
And my eyes are straining, my will is waning
Heartbeat
Mechanical and cold, unchanging pulsing
Repeat
The sound of clockwork, endlessly ticking
When we surrender our lives to live by these routine motions
We never move mountains
Unending
We're forever expending. Never ascending
I
Realise time won't heal all this pain
It just wears at the stone
I
Won't tread the worn path, a link in the chain
My road is overgrown
I will not be a Clone
Resist, resist
Clench these fingers into a fist
Ignore the utterance that ignorance is bliss
And Go
Release, Release
What potential was in me
Not a link in the chains, up from my knees
And Go
Resist, resist
Release, release
Serene, serene
I will not be a clone
