Lyrics The Watchmaker - Woodlock

The Watchmaker

I’m shaking, my bones were tense
I came to an ambulance
Did we fight or did we dance?
So I talked, I suppose
To a God my mother knows
About a high that left a hole
It wasn’t fast
And the glass painted in skin
Mixed in red
And my fingers burning
If this is it, what will they know?
Is his faith dead or did it grow?
This is it, my one chance
Let me barter all I have
I need more than I can give
So please, take all the mess
You know my heart, you know my head
'Cause I remember I can’t forget
It wasn’t fast
And the glass painted in skin
Mixed in red
And my fingers burning
If this is it, what will they know?
Is his faith dead or did it grow?
This is love I didn’t know
We recognize, we fail
Does that make you a failure?
See, you’re not a failure if you fail
You’re just someone that was trying to do something
That perhaps was a little bit difficult
Yet, we label people as failures
From our point of view when we see them
We are meant to believe the best about others even when they stumble
Friends, I will fail you
But I’m not a failure
Then He said
Every sin, cast from east to west
Clear & red
And His wrists, they’re burning
This is it, but will they know?
Did he lose faith or did he grow?
This is love I didn’t know
