[Intro]
Tick-tock, faint and clear, the workshop breathes in time
[Verse 1]
In brass and glass he knits the hour, a patient seamstress of the day
Every second shaved to silver grace, a perfect line in gray
He grills the dawn to hold its glow, hopes each gear its truth will keep
While corners of his own life tilt away, like shadows counting sheep
[Chorus]
Hold the moment, wrap it tight, freeze the breath that slips away
He watches time become a treasure curb, then slips through like clay
If the clock must sing its finest note, what cost will silence pay
He sews tomorrow onto yesterday, and loses today
[Verse 2]
Cogs align in a quiet hymn, a temple built of patient light
He chases the flawless heartbeat, a pulse that shines so bright
But bells forget their ringing when the ember of his hours fades
A quiet door remains ajar where his own name starts to fade
[Chorus]
Hold the moment, wrap it tight, freeze the breath that slips away
He watches time become a treasure curb, then slips through like clay
If the clock must sing its finest note, what cost will silence pay
He sews tomorrow onto yesterday, and loses today
[Bridge]
The hands keep turning, never pausing, in the mirrored gleam they gleam
He learns to measure love in minutes, not in years or dreams
[Chorus]
Hold the moment, wrap it tight, freeze the breath that slips away
He watches time become a treasure curb, then slips through like clay
If the clock must sing its finest note, what cost will silence pay
He sews tomorrow onto yesterday, and loses today
[Outro]
And when the shop is empty, the clock keeps time in stillness bare
A flawless moment sits engraved, but no heart linger there
