Clocks

since that clock's first tick
a dark hue and fear driven lies
it's only real til it ends
as the stars fall on our heads
call the wind the thief for stealing their prayers

look at us shake the sky
pulling the whites from my eyes
and as the hands are spinning, they're waving you goodbye
test for more is what you're striving for
as we sleep, we walk

can't awake the ones who live this life
not on our own...cuz people are the same
we are the same, only habits change
but your starry eyes
no they dont tell me a thing
starring over heavy heads

i swear, i felt you crawling under my skin
i swear, oh, i swear. towers won't fit our view
forget the man in the mountains who follows you
he follows you
but your starry eyes, no they don't mean a thing
