Lesson No. 7 - Clock Opera

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
