lirik lagu nobuddyisperfect - cracks in the clockwork
[verse 1]
this rage is a fire that’s burning me out from the inside, you know?
leaving me hollow, a scorched~earth asylum with nowhere to go
the anger is heavy, a lead~lined coat in the dead of the heat
i’m fighting a war in my head on an endless, repeating loop beat
’til i met a chemist, a back~alley prophet with eyes like machine oil
said he had a cure for the psychic turmoil, a way to uncoil
the springs in my mind that were wound up too tight, a sweet, hazy release
he called it “gorilla glue,” a green~glowing tincture, he promised me peace
[pre~chorus]
you heat the vial ’til the liquid sighs
and breathe it in like winter air
a misty blanket for your eyes
that smothers all the pain and care…
[chorus]
and suddenly the gears… they slow…
the ticking fades away
the million thoughts that scream and grow
just have nothing left to say
the cracks in the clockwork fill with fog
a beautiful and blurry scene
i’m finally a functioning cog…
a quiet, numb, and blank machine
it doesn’t fix a single thing
the rust is still beneath the paint
but for a moment i can sing
a song without a single complaint
[verse 2]
so i’m functional, i’m present now
i’m nodding at the proper times
but there’s a rebel in me anyhow
committing subconscious crimes
i’m still the smart~mouth, still the spark
that’s looking for a fuse to light
the gorilla glue only masks the dark
it doesn’t really make it bright
smashed a watchman’s chronometer
just to watch the gears all spill
poured sugar in the hydrometer
just for the thrill, just for the k!ll
and that was it, the final straw
the last act in my tragic play
my parents cited city law…
and signed the papers that same day
[bridge]
“a special academy… across the sea,” they said
“for boys like you.”
“a chance to start again,” they said
“a chance to see your studies through.”
but i heard the words they didn’t speak
the hidden clause, the real design
we can’t fix you. you’re too weak
you’re no longer a problem of mine
they packed my bags
a one~way fare
and all i took to get me through…
was a vial of steam and empty air
[outro]
the cracks in the clockwork…
filled with fog…
just a functional cog…
a blank machine…
please don’t leave me…
all alone…
