[Intro 1]
[Eb]
[D][Eb]
[D][Eb][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]When dust settles
in [D]the wake
of the chaos [G]just regroup
Everybody [D]taking the payoffs,
that's me [Eb]too
If hip -hop's dead,
I'm staging a [D]seance to reboot
Resurrecting like the day
of the death [G]of the need proof
Like Thomas [D]did, rock the boat
and blast him off like [F]a rocket ship
[D]On the low, [Eb]match the cost of his coffin dip
I don't really [D]know what
the problem is
They've gone off the sip,
said they lost the chips
[G]I drew the sword for the
[D]stone
and then marked the beast with it
[G]Every bar I spit is an [D]omen,
they can't compete with [Eb]it
It's Mr. O, [D]still broken,
but I'm at peace with it
Reconstructing pieces of
life in a fine release
In this [G]short life,
everyone's [D]struggling to evolve
In wartime,
some feel hunger and hit the [G]stove
All [Em]these course nights,
days [D]numbered, it takes a toll
And I'm numb to the status quo,
this come up's the way to go
Clock[Eb]work, cold spinning in [D]the middle,
non -stop work
[G]Lost vision,
so I'm [D]still up with this blood work
[Eb]I stay ticking, I ai[D]n't thinking,
a lot's worth
[G]I ain't blinking,
I'm watching my leather [D]clocks turn
[Eb]In deep thoughts,
but [D]these thoughts are absurd
[G]I need hope, but t[D]hese roads
are hot tubbed
Lost for words,
I'm [Eb]con cerned at what
[D]the clock's churn
And [G]my thoughts run around
my mind like clockwork
I've been addressing my afflictions
with [D]a slight new tone
I'm hurting, [F#]searching for [G]my soul
with [D]a fine -tooth comb
I'm burning, [Eb]all these old bridges,
trying [B]to find new [G]roads
It's worth[D]less,
trying to buy back
all the time you sold
[G]So, forget it, now I'm writing
off the time we lost
[F#]Scribing lines to hide [D]the cost
I'm on a writer's block
Searching for [Eb]a purpose,
maybe [D]find the one I'm hiding from
Or maybe if I make it and I'm rich
I could just buy me one
But maybe I won't,
and I'll be stuck here on my own
With the very same people
who have practically denied me one
All these targets on my back
are now declining
Only use me for their benefit,
and that is why [Eb]they're signing on
So [D]that is why I'm closing the doors
Blocking off my heart which
was open before
Every time I gave it out,
they exposed it for sure
I'm just a drunken man
searching for a soul we're in for
[G]Clockwork,
cog [D]spinning in the middle
non [F#]-stop work
Lost [D]vision so I'm still
up with this blockwork
[Eb]I stay ticking[D], I ain't thinking a lot's worth
I ain't blinking,
I'm watching my level [G]clocks turn
In deep [D]thoughts,
but these thoughts are absurd
I need hope, but these roads are hot tub
Lost for words,
I'm concerned at what the
[D]clock's churned
[Eb]And my thoug[D]hts run around my
mind like clockwork
[G]Clockwork
Cogs [D]spinning in the middle,
non [G]-stop work
[F#]Lost [D]vision so I'm still up with [Eb]this blockwork
I stay tick[D]ing, I ain't thinking of lost worth
I ain't blinking,
I'm watching while ever [G]clocks turn
Indeed [D]thoughts,
but these thoughts are absurd
I need hope, but these roads are hot turned
As for words, I'm concerned
at what the cogs churn
[Eb]And my t[D]houghts run around my
mind like [Eb]clockwork[D][G]
[D]
[G]You
