about

I exist without my consent.

lyrics

If dismantling a clock, could make time stop
I'd be a watchmaker and work everyday
I wouldn't make repairs, no, just enjoy the stares
Of the faces, blank before me

I hope, this is, a lifetime, supply of air in my lungs
I’d use it to scream at the void closing on me,
and say “I’m glad you’ve come”

Cross my heart and hope to die
I'm hopeful every time that I Lie and say “I'm fine”
I know that life's a gift, only because I can't return it
Not without your proof of purchase

If I had a vault securing my thoughts
I’d still be a blacksmith at night
First to forge gates the never ending chains
Trying to keep it sealed tight

I hope, this is, a lifetime, supply of air in my lungs
I’d use it to scream at the void closing on me,
and say “I’m glad you’ve come”

Cross my heart and hope to die
I'm hopeful every time that I Lie and say “I'm fine”
I know that life's a gift, only because I can't return it
Not without your proof of purchase

Whenever I’m told I have the heart of a child
That’s because mine was broken and frozen in time
Despite my age, in the change of my frame
That scared little boy rocks back-and-forth just the same
If my only value was when I said yes
Then I wasn’t welcome but only a guest
It seemed that my purpose was just in your service
When I resign you will be fine, but that decision is mine

Cross my heart and hope to die
I'm hopeful every time that I Lie and say “I'm fine”
I know that life's a gift, only because I can't return it
Not without your proof of purchase

I hope, this is, a lifetime, supply of air in my lungs
I’d use it to scream at the void closing on me,
and say “I’m glad you’ve come”
