Lead Lining

Verse 1

Late

Slipping through the gate

Rust on the hinges biting my palm

Cold wind

Cold skin

I forgot to check the calendar

Heavy water pools in the driveway

Lifting up my collar

Waiting

Waiting for the sky to crack open

Chorus

Clock it before the gears grind down

Watch it spin

Watch it spin

Clock it before the gears grind down

Turn the key

Turn the key

Everything is moving in circles

Everything is moving in circles

Clock it

Clock it

Verse 2

Dust

Settling on us

I see the silver lining turn to lead

Heavy boots

Heavy roots

Tangled in the wires beneath the floor

No more

Searching for the exit sign

Losing time

Losing breath

Losing every single piece of the map

Found it

Kept it

Tossed it in the river today

Chorus

Clock it before the gears grind down

Watch it spin

Watch it spin

Clock it before the gears grind down

Turn the key

Turn the key

Everything is moving in circles

Everything is moving in circles

Clock it

Clock it

Bridge

Broken hands on the face

Frozen sand in the glass

Holding on to the pace

I saw the end

I felt the end

I knew the end

Just let the pendulum swing

Low bass shaking the glass

Just let the strings pull tight

Chorus

Clock it before the gears grind down

Watch it spin

Watch it spin

Clock it before the gears grind down

Turn the key

Turn the key

Everything is moving in circles

Everything is moving in circles

Clock it

Clock it
