Lyrics

Verse 1

Stuck

Twelve fifteen

The heavy hammer fell

Copper gears are grinding bone

Rust

Metal dust

Waiting for a sound that never comes

Chorus

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

The pendulum is paralyzed

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Lost it all

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Fixed

Faded face

You promised me forever

Now the spring is snapped and cold

Bitter

Battered

Broken

Seconds won't behave

They won't behave

I am screaming at the glass

Salt on the wood

Chorus

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

The pendulum is paralyzed

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

Bridge

Maybe it was my fault

Maybe it was your fault

Maybe it was the gravity

I wound the key too tight

I pulled the chain too hard

I watched the minute hand go limp

Now there is only silence

Only heavy silence

Only total silence

Chorus

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

The pendulum is paralyzed

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

Outro

No more ticking

No more ticking

Just the dust

Twelve fifteen

Forever

It stays the same

Stays the same

Stays the same

Chorus

Give me back my time

Give me back my time

The pendulum is paralyzed

Give me back my time

Give me back my time
