7. Bend the Clock (7:24)
Worn down wearing thin
Hellish dreams
Tormenting scenes
Shadows looming
I'm paralyzed, can't move
Scared and confused
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink deeper each day
Cold, hallowed place
Dark shadows
Vast haunting landscapes
In a frantic state
Tired of feeling lost
Alone and out of place
This circle I can't break
Every night
Lie comatose
But wide awake
I'm paralyzed again
Darkness creeping in
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink further today
The witching hour begins
Can't escape
I find myself again
Prisoner in the end
Sinking further than I've ever been
And if I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
A better place I'd find
And no more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Break this hold on me
But I can't get away
Can't find my way
Sinking further every day
Hellish dreams
Tormenting scenes
Shadows looming
I'm paralyzed, can't move
Scared and confused
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink deeper each day
Cold, hallowed place
Dark shadows
Vast haunting landscapes
In a frantic state
Tired of feeling lost
Alone and out of place
This circle I can't break
Every night
Lie comatose
But wide awake
I'm paralyzed again
Darkness creeping in
If I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
Leave it all behind
No more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Always haunting me
But I sink further today
The witching hour begins
Can't escape
I find myself again
Prisoner in the end
Sinking further than I've ever been
And if I
If I could bend the clock
The passageway of time
A better place I'd find
And no more
No more paralyzing dreams
The midnight screams
Break this hold on me
But I can't get away
Can't find my way
Sinking further every day
