Lyrics:
[Verse 1] You wear the face of strength The armor of a tank Keep ya' calm in a bomber's brink Your eyes are another paint I seen their true colors through your blinks Thin out I'm not here to exploit your chinks More to reinforce 'em, from the forces sent to see you sink Stay afloat, and stay a while, and take a break All you hear is orders barking, brick And mortar stopping walls and space What a shame becoming blame of roots, and no escape Closing gates on fate like all mistakes are born in place All it takes is pressing forth with form and grace Forge a bond with more than hate Meet these words with open arms And plant your feet the planet shakes [Hook] Counterclockwise you're going in While you make the same mistakes Counterclockwise you're going in Eleven, Ten, Nine, Eight Counterclockwise you're going in Seven, Six, Five, Four Counterclockwise you're going in Three, Two, One, Twelve-, Time [Verse 2] Let me in, let me closer Let me hold on to what you can’t composure I’m no pushover, more like a boulder Or come test me and rest on my shoulders I really mean it I know you’re the meanest to me ‘cause I’ve seen your hold ups And you don’t know trust, you only know bluffs This world is so tough Guess you’re some kind of soldier Hand on your holster, ready for it and it’s over You ever pulled the trigger early it hurt me before i get to closure I won’t beat you to it, i ain’t trying, i ain’t lying I’m just speaking truths and you’re implying that I’m hiding I’m the mirror and all you see is you [Hook] [Verse 3] I ain't really wanna make calls much, don't talk on the phone but You can hit me on the cordless, in the forefront where I store us On the tour bus where the beats loud We can speak now, if you ain't then it's all hush Quit acting like a loner, try growing up We were young, when we thought the whole world would disown us Now we own up to the spilled milk, and the real help is the go rough When you show love, and it heal welts, sho 'nuff You know I got your back-, and that's just speaking facts So when I keep it real, it's not me you attack But anger is your drive, and that there ain't my map If fire's all you have, then water meets your match [Hook ] [Reversed] While you make the same mistakes Eleven, Ten, Nine, Eight Seven, Six, Five, Four Three, Two, One, Twelve Time
