lyrics
Over and over again we have
Drawn up these faulty maps
Trying so hard but we're
Stepping on cracks now a back's broken
All of the words that we speak
Are failing to eke out a route
I've tried so hard to find
The borders of a mind
Yes, even in the age of ray-guns
We still writing "Here Be Dragons"
I met a pair of eyes just right
But their trail vanished in the night
And if they find a port less stormy
I will still be sand and pouring
Into a vessel I've never been in
Another suit of clockwork skin
This skin, this skin
This clockwork skin
Well I know you won't hear my voice for
The din, those gears make in your skin
The echos of patterns you've been
This skin, this skin
This clockwork skin
Within, within
The animals they swim
[[Intro]]
[[Verse 1]]
Yes, even in the lands of dragons
We're trigger happy with our ray guns
Thought we had a plan just right
But now we drink to pass the night
And if we find a port less stormy
We will still be sand and pouring
Into a vessel we've never been in
Another suit of clockwork skin
[[Chorus]]
Drawn up these faulty maps
Trying so hard but we're
Stepping on cracks now a back's broken
All of the words that we speak
Are failing to eke out a route
I've tried so hard to find
The borders of a mind
Yes, even in the age of ray-guns
We still writing "Here Be Dragons"
I met a pair of eyes just right
But their trail vanished in the night
And if they find a port less stormy
I will still be sand and pouring
Into a vessel I've never been in
Another suit of clockwork skin
This skin, this skin
This clockwork skin
Well I know you won't hear my voice for
The din, those gears make in your skin
The echos of patterns you've been
This skin, this skin
This clockwork skin
Within, within
The animals they swim
[[Intro]]
[[Verse 1]]
Yes, even in the lands of dragons
We're trigger happy with our ray guns
Thought we had a plan just right
But now we drink to pass the night
And if we find a port less stormy
We will still be sand and pouring
Into a vessel we've never been in
Another suit of clockwork skin
[[Chorus]]
