My heart just keeps ticking, like a grandfather clock The hands spin round and round, In circles and turn my stomach to knots I fell head over heels, on gears that turn with cogs and wheels The pendulum's broken inside of me I feel like an actress, in a bad horror show I say my lines and scream, when it's my turn to go Nothing but fake blood hits the stage As I fall to the floor With a rubber knife in my back, and regret in my role If my tongue is the rudder, and I am the ship Then my heart is the mainsail, tattered and ripped And I see rocks up ahead, like swards from the deep I try to sail away, but the tide's taken me So I throw my anchor, over the side And hope I don't sink The chain slithers faster and faster, and faster into the deep Until safely on the ocean floor, my anchor lay await For the wind to subside, the end of this storm The start of my faith, the start of my faith
