A Hand On The Clock

Waking up in a bad dream
You don't know if it's real or a sim
Where are you going?
Do you even recall where you've been?
Going round in a circle
You don't know if you're dead or alive
You're stuck in this minefield
You know you can never survive
You're just a hand on the clock
A cog in the machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
(The time is running out)
You can't trace him
You can't chase him
A grey and nameless mass
No one stands out
You can't match him
You can't catch him
A shadow on the wall
A face in the crowd
You can't track him
Or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can't contact
Confront him
Just another face in the crowd
Waking up in the darkness
You discover it's all in your mind
You're locked in a cycle
You want out but you can't die
Getting lost in this new reel
Going back to the past
They say you can't change it
But you know there is always a chance
You're just a hand on the clock
A cog in the machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
(The time is running out)
You can't match him
You can't catch him
A shadow on the wall
A face in the crowd
You can't track him
Or attack him
In here nobody stands out
You can't contact
Confront him
Just another face in the crowd
You're just a hand on the clock
A cog in the machine
A pawn in the game
A pixel on the screen
A hand on the clock
Make every second count
A hand on the clock
(The time is running out)
He's completed
He's defeated
A new time created for all
You saved them
You gave them
A new future to explore
