Watchmaker Lyrics
[Intro]
Watchmaker, teach me the ways
Watchmaker, teach me the ways
[Verse 1]
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds, oh
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
The methods to dull my ears to the sound
[Verse 2: Matty Mullins]
Teach me how to rewind, rewind, so I can relive
Every second, minute - all I missed, oh
I'm always focused on the next thing
If only I could pause and breath
Teach me how
[Verse 3]
If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
These hours to keep you in
[Pre-Chorus]
There'll be no back, there'll be no forth
Just us where we are
[Chorus]
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines
[Verse 4]
I'm haunted by mechanical sounds
Damped, stolen, and swallowed, relentless, counting down
In the bellies of old enemies
And I'm plagued by the "tick-tock - tick-tock"
But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away
There's tension in me
I'm wound up and bound to this endless release
A robin imprisoned in a carved clock
I'm a tune locked in a music box to a grave melody
I can feel a nervousness in my fingers
To spindles, they're wasting away
And with every twitch, they're turning
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions
[Chorus]
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines
[Bridge]
I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close
Caught by the collar and dragged into a two-four waltz
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me
I was passed like partners between turning teeth
[Outro]
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
(Teach me how to rewind, rewind)
If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets and sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines
