"Teeth of the Clockwork"

Verse 1

Rust in the bloodstream, a carnival pulse,

Fractured reflections—my shadow convulses.

Cogs in the ribcage grind down the hour,

Tick-tock-tick—gnashing jaws devour.

Pre-Chorus (spoken/chaotic)

—Do you hear it?

The laugh between the seconds,

The crack in the mirror's grin,

It whispers—

"You are only borrowed skin."

Chorus (soaring/clean)

Teeth of the clockwork bite down the sky,

A thousand eyes blink and fossilize.

I’m dancing in spirals, breaking the line,

While reason corrodes in the acid of time.

Verse 2

Insect machinery claws at my throat,

Wires in the marrow sing what they wrote.

Voices collide like collapsing stars,

I wear their debris in invisible scars.

Bridge (manic, spoken-scream mix)

Spinning!

Spinning!

Spinning into glass!

I am the fracture in the hourglass!

Sand becomes teeth, and teeth become chains,

Tell me again how the madness sustains—

Tick—tock—tick—tock—

Chorus (clean + layered screams)

Teeth of the clockwork bite down the sky,

A thousand eyes blink and fossilize.

I’m dancing in spirals, breaking the line,

While reason corrodes in the acid of time.

Outro (whisper/growl dual vocal)

—Every second is a predator.

—Every thought, a parasite.

—And in the cracks between the laughter...

—I lost the shape of me.
