Regina Spektor The Clocks Were Asleep Lyrics

the clocks were asleep and asleep's how we found them
we found them and wound them again
but they didn't last us till morning and warning
that you never should force mechanical things
they are not meant for hardship, they'll snap
if you tighten
and wind them
and pry them
and try

just stop.
right.
now.

now's the time to let go

and stop.
right.
now.

now's the time to break free

the parakeet sitting inside the gazebo
was sighing, though she shouldn't have know how
to do anything except tweet tweet tweet
the gentleman giving the power presentation
felt the bayonet scar on his shoulder reopen
a warm trickle of blood through his fresh-pressed shirt

so stop.
right.
now.

now's the time to let go
and stop.
right.
now.

now's the time to break free

How much do you really know you?
