JubyPhonic Lyrics

Cruel Clocks

Sounds reverberate; smash through air and space
Full of fragments bathed in black and white
Gears from up above rain down to the ground,
I tread on them; they seem to laugh at me

My attached right arm usually creaks
but somehow now, the sound has disappeared into silence
A stream of light is blocking the symbol of the world,
and so it starts to break and crumble away

I have no tears left to shed, as much as I cry out
So I scream, with the voice I thought I'd.. lost.

Hey,
I remember, in the past, your everlasting smile
As you patiently taught me everything I would need in life
Like the happy things, and all the things that would bring me sorrow,
And.. The fact that I can't die.

Please, just tell me why
Why has my time halted in its tracks, before I'm ready?
I cannot comprehend this; this strange and agonizing
pain I feel piercing into my heart.

A mirage, fantasy, is all that it would ever be
But I still let myself believe...

Hey,
I remember in the past, that day you smiled at me,
And held me in a close embrace between your arms, so tenderly.
Even in my cold, unfeeling body, with no blood flowing through,
I somehow felt the warmth exuding from you

But by the time I came to realize what happened next,
You were already magnetized, like a clock, inside your head
So in my frustration, I decided to make a wish instead
For the whole world to stop

But the truth, that I knew deep down; painfully clear to see
That the world could never stop turning

Hey,
I remember, in the past, your everlasting smile
I'll keep that smile for days to come, and remember all those times
All the happy times, and all the times that had brought me sorrow, and..
Somehow I'm still alive myself, in your place

I can't contain the happiness I feel, but not sure why
These drops trickling down from my eyes are they 'tears' I'm meant to cry?
Then I feel, on the other side of this vast, eternal sky,
In time, we'll meet again.
