Body Thief - Clocks Like Hell Lyrics

You said you'd follow close
But now you're out of reach
And I am not walking backwards
Nevertheless, I'm not afraid
Now seeing that
This stem seems to grow and harness
The only light found in the darkness
There's something beautiful
About the times we learn to grow

Despite the places we have been
I never bit the feeding hand

Bury ourselves in road maps
Find ourselves a destination
Worry ourselves to death
With the voices in our heads
They're in our heads; these voices
We'll drown them out
And follow through
And find that steady glow for you
Nevertheless, if I'm being honest
I'm running far from here

What would you say if I gave
One more reason to stay?
"All the more reason
To stay away from me"
Your thoughts seem to wear and tarnish
Every time you act so heartless
Reap what you sow
You're on your own now

Despite the places we have been
I never bit the feeding hand
So why worry myself to death
With the voices in our heads?
They're in our heads; these voices
We'll drown them out
And follow through
And find that steady glow for you
Nevertheless, if I'm being honest
I'm running far from here

You steal every part of me
The love
The bliss
The sympathy
Your paradigms spread apathy
Upon these deafened ears
These clocks like hell run endlessly
Into places of unpleasantry
I shut down afar from here
While you rebirth your precious years

This stem seems to grow and harness
The only light found in the darkness
