The Clock Without Hands - The Current Still (Official Audio)

The Clock Without Hands from The Current Still by Quiet Fever

Lyrics:

The hour broke, but no one heard
The gears just hummed in patient blur
Seconds hung like threads of dust
While calendars forgot to trust

I lit a match in noon or night
The flame stood still, refused to bite
My voice came back an hour late
Wearing the clothes of yesterday

The clock without hands still ticks
In circles that refuse to fix
It marks the space, but not the pace
Of days that never leave a trace

The windows blink but never shift
The sky’s a looped and painted script
The mirrors speak in crooked rhymes
I mouth the words, but not in time

I thought I saw the moon dissolve
Or maybe rise, or maybe fall
A pendulum that swings inside
But never crosses either side

The clock without hands still breathes
It counts the ache, but not the need
A heartbeat lost in empty chimes
A prayer that floats outside of time

I sleep beneath a frozen bell
Where dreams forget how far they fell
And in the hush, I sometimes feel
That time was never ever real
