Tell Me Something - Clockwork

Am I alive?

I can’t breathe.

I can see energy in your life.

Breathe in deep.

I swear I’m not just a fugitive on release.

So would you take me in?

Take me in.

Take your time.

Hear the drums.

Lives begin to ricochet, let them come.

'cause am I not just a fugitive?

Would you release or hold on?

Here’s the key.

You can do as you please with me.

Oh, are you pleased with me?

Tell me something would you now?

I can’t explain the simplest sounds.

Tell me how I can lead when I can’t stay up on my feet.

Tell me how I’m supposed to stand when you know me

as just a man.

See the gates.

Learn to walk.

You cut me like a ribbon as I’m torn apart.

My seams are withered and they won’t hold me up at all.

But you take me higher from the sounds that tore my head

apart and spit me out.

Tell me something would you now?

I can’t explain the simplest sounds.

Tell me how I can lead when I can’t stay up on my feet.

Tell me how I’m supposed to stand when you know me

as just a man.

Don’t want to be another picture in a frame.

And I want to stand for more than just my name.

I’ll show you what I mean.

Don’t tell me that there’s no survivors.

I won’t believe.

I swear that I will try.

Tell me something would you now?

I can’t explain the simplest sounds.

Tell me how I can lead when I can’t stay up on my feet.

Tell me how I’m supposed to stand when you know me

as just a man.

Am I alive?

I can’t breathe.

I can see energy.
