Tape Rewind

The second hand is twitching
Spinning counter-clockwise now
The future's gone, it's glitching
I'm sweating through the plow
The sun is diving eastward
The birds are flying low
I'm running from the forward
To where the shadows go

Rewind the tape! Make it break!
Faster than the crash!
Rewind the fate! Too late to wait!
Living in the flashback smash!
The clock is spitting fire!
The gears are running back!
Down to the funeral pyre!
On the one-way track!

The words come out as static
A scream that turns to prayer
The world is aerodynamic
But I'm gasping for the air
The bullets fly into the barrel
The buildings fall right up
I'm drinking from the sterile
Of a broken, bitter cup

Rewind the tape! Make it break!
Faster than the crash!
Rewind the fate! Too late to wait!
Living in the flashback smash!
The clock is spitting fire!
The gears are running back!
Down to the funeral pyre!
On the one-way track!

REWIND THE TAPE! MAKE IT BREAK!
FASTER THAN THE CRASH!
REWIND THE FATE! TOO LATE TO WAIT!
BURNING TO ASH!
THE CLOCK IS SPITTING FIRE!
THE GEARS ARE RUNNING BACK!
DOWN TO THE FUNERAL PYRE!
ON THE ONE-WAY...
...Track.
