Watchmaker, teach me the ways.

I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds,

The methods to dull my ears to the sound.

If I were a watchmaker, I'd build suspension into the springs.

Hidden gears, secret faces.

Undiscovered hours to keep you in.

There'll be no back, there'll be no forth,

Just us, where we are.

Watchmaker, teach me the workings.

I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds.

Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines.

I'm haunted by mechanical sounds.

Damped, stolen and swallowed, relentless, counting down

In the bellies of old enemies. I'm plagued by the tick tock, tick tock,

But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away.

Come teach me the ways of the watchmaker,

We'll dull our ears to the sound.

There's tension in me, I'm wound up and bound to an 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.

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.

They have to make a music video for this. The concepts for this would be amazing.Like... Some guy whose significant other died recently, and he's driven to finding the secret of time travel so he can go back in time and save her. (At the cost of his own life of course)It would be perfect. Like a steampunk style universe. He's toiling away in some workshop, gears turning and levers shifting, he's barely sleeping, never eating, haunted by mechanical sounds, plagued by the tick tock tick tock of time running out as he HAS to save her, getting instructions and notes from a book (Of course with the Hands like Houses logo on it) that reveals not only the secrets of traveling back in time, but also how he can bring her back to life.Of course he does. He started an young man, and has now grown old and decrepit by the time he's finished. He's able to go back in time, and to her bedside right when she passed. And with whatever contraption he created to save her, he uses. She wakes up, confused, and looks by her bed to find him dead, one hand clutching at the book, the other at whatever he used to being her back to life and GOD DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T I MAKE MOVIE PRODUCING MY MAJOR IN COLLEGE?!
