Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke with frost on my hands
The clock bit through my name
Every floorboard kept the count
Every breath fed the flame
I carried my small truths
Like knives in a coat
But the mirror only asked me
What I was made of
[Pre-Chorus]
You can claw at the sky
You can spit at the rain
Still the day turns its blade
Still the hour keeps its claim
[Chorus]
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I can't hold it back
I can't hold it back
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I learn what I am
Before it pulls me under
[Verse 2]
I watched my father go gray
In the blink of a winter
He said choose your side, boy
Then time took the splinter
I buried guilt in the yard
By the broken back fence
But it grew into roots
And it asked for my penance
[Pre-Chorus]
You can sharpen your will
You can beg for a sign
Still the river keeps moving
Still it leaves you behind
[Chorus]
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I can't hold it back
I can't hold it back
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I learn what I am
Before it pulls me under
[Bridge]
So I stand in the dark
With my name in my teeth
If fate wants my bones
Then it better meet me
Not good
Not pure
Just mine
Just here
[Final Chorus]
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I can't hold it back
I can't hold it back
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
I make my own law
While the world drifts under
Ashes on the clock
Ashes on the clock
Time takes what it wants
But it won't take my hunger

Style
Piano rock fused with dark ambient and post-punk tension, with indie rock lift and death viking metal weight; driving mid-tempo pulse, tom-heavy martial groove, and stark piano ostinatos. Verse starts close and sparse with piano, sub drones, and muted guitar; pre-chorus widens with bass and snare march; chorus hits with gang vocals, layered guitars, and harsher growls under a clean lead. Bridge drops to solo piano and distant chant, then final chorus returns huge with blast accents, choral doubles, and cold reverb tails. Wide, cinematic, grim, and punchy., post-punk, dark ambient, piano rock, viking metal, soft, indie rock
