Silver teeth
On the gear that spins
Oil-stained hands
And a copper grin
You drew my fate
On a torn blueprint
Said
“Turn for me”
And the world will flinch
Cogs and curses
Grinding through my chest
Every promise
Tattooed like a hex
Turn me
Break me
Watch the hours bend
Cogs and curses
Click again
Again
Chalk-white marks
On the workshop floor
Names crossed out
By a rusted door
You count to ten
Then you twist that key
Every wish I made
Comes back biting me (oh)
Cogs and curses
Grinding through my chest
Every promise
Tattooed like a hex
Turn me
Break me
Watch the hours bend
Cogs and curses
Click again
Again
You say it’s just
Cause and effect
But you wind me up
Just to see me wreck
If I jam these teeth
If I snap this chain
Will your little spell
Ever speak my name?
Cogs and curses
Grinding through my chest
Every promise
Tattooed like a hex
Turn me
Break me
Watch the hours bend
Cogs and curses
Click again
Again (again)
Cogs and curses
This is how it ends
