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
