Lyrics Lesson No. 7 - Clock Opera

Lesson No. 7

You’re crouched like a hunter, seconds from a kill
You’re still an empty vessel, impossible to fill
One foot in the future, one foot in the past
Shitting on present and you’re lashed to the mast
Belief and seeing are both often wrong
And once I believed in you
One rule for the weak and one rule for the strong
But neither has nothing to lose
I wanna be persuaded, I wanna be talked down
I wanna be won over, and I want to be brought round
But you only talk in capitals, all-conquering truths
Lesson No. 7 is an irrelevance to you
Belief and seeing are both often wrong
And once I believed in you
One rule for the weak and one rule for the strong
Neither has nothing to lose
Every part of the heartbeat is the closing of the door
To keep the blood flowing, it can’t come back anymore
Hear the people calling, calling out for you
But it’s just your head they’re ever after, and they want it cold and blue
Belief and seeing are both often wrong
And once I believed in you
One rule for the weak and one rule for the strong
Neither has nothing to lose
