Clockwork - Autopilot Off

You’re probably sick of being tired

You can’t find the strength to close your eyes

You can’t let go but you can’t change everything

Stuck lying in this burning bed

Write it on the walls and read it

Bright red so you can see it

Don’t fail me now

Write it on the walls and read it

Until there are no secrets

So safe and sound

At least for now

Time’s going to warn you with a whisper

When it wants to let you know

You can’t live in fear of the things that aren’t for sure

So stay alive by playing dead

Write it on the walls and read it

Bright red so you can see it

Don’t fail me now

Write it on the walls and read it

Until there are no secrets

So safe and sound

Still there are lines for us to write before we close our eyes

And only time will tell the ending when the ink runs dry

And time will tell everything

It’s ever so quiet counting down

(I wrote this down, and left it there,

To blow it out of my hands, and stare at it,

The drops ran down, I tried to turn around

But the blood was a small price to pay

And it made it real, it made it real because…

Write it on the walls and read it

Blood red so you can see it

Life leaking out

Write it on the walls and read it

Until there are no secrets

So safe and sound

At least for now
