Hands Like Houses, Matty Mullins - Watchmaker lyrics

Watchmaker, teach me the ways
Watchmaker, teach me the ways

(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
I want to learn the secrets
And the sciences of seconds, oh
(Watchmaker, teach me the ways)
The methods to dull my ears to the sound

Teach me how to rewind, rewind
So I can relive
Every second, minute - all I missed, oh
I'm always focused on the next thing
If only I could pause and breath
Teach me how

If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
These hours to keep you in

There'll be no back, there'll be no forth
Just us where we are

Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets
And sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons
The measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines

I'm haunted by mechanical sounds
Damped, stolen, and swallowed, relentless
Counting down in the bellies of old enemies
And I'm plagued by the
"tick-tock - tick-tock"
But with vehemence I'll take to their
Faces and tear them away
There's tension in me
I'm wound up and bound
To this endless release
A robin imprisoned in a carved clock
I'm a tune locked in a music
Box to a grave melody
I can feel a nervousness in my fingers
To spindles, they're wasting away
And with every twitch, they're turning
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions

Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets
And sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons
The measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines

I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close
Caught by the collar and dragged
Into a two-four waltz
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me
I was passed like partners
Between turning teeth

Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets
And sciences of seconds
(Teach me how to rewind, rewind)
If I were a watchmaker
I'd build suspension into the springs
Hidden gears, secret faces
Undiscovered hours to keep you in
Watchmaker, teach me the workings
I want to learn the secrets
And sciences of seconds
Teach me the seasons
The measure of these machines
Teach me the measure of these machines
