The Swing of the Watch

[Verse]
The tie felt tight
The room too still
A clock ticked soft
It gave me chills
He smiled thin
His eyes like steel
What’s the catch

Time slows down
Where it stops
Who knows

Shadows crawl
The swing of the watch
It changes it all

The swing of the watch
Back and forth it goes
Time slows down
Where it stops
Who knows
Truths unravel
Shadows crawl
The swing of the watch
It changes it all

Walls turned liquid
Faces blurred
His words were sharp
But barely heard
"Criminal empire
You're part of it now"
I tried to scream
But forgot how
