Lyrics

I can't stop the clock's pace
Behind the closed gates
I feel their gazes
Eating gold and scraps

Their avid faces
Take and take and give no space
I want no race
But I'm always dragged to the maze

Can someone pull the brakes?
I need to stay awake
Cause I won't shake
As I sail through this sea of snakes

Maybe it's too much weight
It might go all to waste
But cannot let them
Dig and hide, burn and negate

On and on always running
On and on always hurrying
Forward, upwards,
Towards doom

My mind is always dashing
My heart is always flying
Onwards, downwards
Beyond the veiled moon

On and on always struggling
On and on always sliding
Outwards the awkward
Striped red room

My head is always riding
My soul is always hurtling
Southward, homeward
Where all the light blooms

The tides, so high, tonight...

I can't just shake it off I will be erased
I know I've always been displaced
Looking for faint traces of
Joys and paths that never were

Outside the tall gate
I knock but no one hears the bang
Cause I'm estranged from
Jolly, shiny, easy days

Can I just take a break
Can barely stay awake
But I won't shake
Even when the roads are all opaque

Maybe it is too late
Maybe there is a fate
Cause I won't let them
Trick me, throw me love as bait

On and on always running
On and on always hurrying
Forward, upwards,
Towards doom

My mind is always dashing
My heart is always flying
Onwards, downwards
Beyond the veiled moon...

On and on always running
On and on always hurrying
Forward, upwards,
Towards doom

My mind is always dashing
My heart is always flying
Onwards, downwards
Beyond the veiled moon

On and on always struggling
On and on always sliding
Outwards the awkward
Striped red room

My head is always riding
My soul is always hurtling
Southward, homeward
Where all the light blooms

The tides, so high, tonight
The ties, so tight, so tight
