Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Am I a fire or the lighter?
Am I full of it?
Is it me or is it all of them?
I'm like my father, I am stubborn
I'm my mother's kid
I'll guilt myself into pain until there's nothing left
(Nothing left)
[Verse 2]
The air is getting gray now
I see it on the way down
Yeah, yeah
It's picking up the pace now
It's quicker on the way down, down, down
[Verse 3]
It's like clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 4]
Clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 5]
Can't run from what I'm made of
But why can't I
Identify with parts that I'm supposed to recognize?
I got a tight grip on the lesson
This time I won't let it go
Until I let it go, there it goes
[Verse 6]
Air's getting gray now
I see it on the way down
Ah, yeah
It's picking up the pace now
It's quicker on the way down, ooh, oh
[Verse 7]
It's like clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 8]
Clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 9]
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 10]
It's like clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
[Verse 11]
Clockwork
Wheels turn
Heals, hurts
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's like clockwork
Bad, worse
Tired of sittin', livin' with it till it drops
