Clockwork Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They said the sky was way too high They said I'd never touch the light But I found a door in thunder And I stepped through it tonight I wore my father's old watch The glass was cracked, the hands were bent One spin and I was sixteen Back where the broken hours went [Pre-Chorus] I saw your face in the rain My younger self, all fire and pain I said, "Don't turn into dust" I came back to pull you up [Chorus] Watch me rise, watch me rise I built my wings from goodbye's Every tear became a diamond in disguise Watch me rise Watch me rise, watch me rise You can break my heart, not my soul You can stop the clock, not my goal [Verse 2] You were hiding by the lockers Bruised knuckles, quiet, alone They kept calling you a loser I knew that look to the bone I grabbed your sleeve and ran Past the yard and under the train Told you, "We are not the damage" Told you, "We can change the pain" [Pre-Chorus] The hallway blurred into gold The future begged me, "Let him go" But I held on through the crack I was never coming back [Chorus] Watch me rise, watch me rise I built my wings from goodbye's Every tear became a diamond in disguise Watch me rise Watch me rise, watch me rise You can break my heart, not my soul You can stop the clock, not my goal [Bridge] If I lose this road, I know You're the spark that made me grow Little me, look at the sky I'm the answer to your cry [Final Chorus] Watch me rise, watch me rise I built my wings from goodbye's Every tear became a diamond in disguise Watch me rise Watch me rise, watch me rise You can break my heart, not my soul You can stop the clock, not my goal
