Clockworks Lyrics - Meshuggah

Dismantling the clockwork that makes me the cynic 

Pallet, wheel and click 

The properties of my indifference 

Reverse-engineering what makes it tick 

Dissecting the fine-tuned mechanism 

Rack and barrel, spring and pin 

Its synchronous characteristics 

To kill what makes it spin 

Disassemble this machinery 

Re-program these eyes, undo this design 

Labelled and filed, each part indexed 

Broken to pieces then thoroughly burned 

Deconstruction of what I am 

Buried to make sure he never returns 

Taken apart, defused, blueprints turned to ashes 

Eradicate the last remains, remnants of the insane 

Disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative 

To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity 

Break this deceitful machine 

A lie, what once I was, obsolete instrument 

An outmoded contraption, a malfunctioning device 

That callous self now extinguished, that malignant self now disused 

That conceited invention to nothing now reduced 

Complete disintegration, the destruction of me now imperative 

To purge myself of this condition, complete this dissolution a necessity 

Break this deceitful machine
