Message Man - Clockwork Lyrics

You said that you would ride with me
But found myself alone with no company
So now you wanna ride with me

I remember a time when i said it all would align
Trust the process, you know this is my design
All in time
Read those headlines, look how I redefine
Look man they build a shrine
Wait man you serpentine, you can not undermine
Where were you when I was just swine?

Convenient how you just show up in time
Sorry but now you must stand in line
Ain't no co-sign, I must decline
I'm putting out something so much more genuine
Sorry I'm out of line, I feel like Frankenstein
Not the green man, but the mastermind
I have to admit I love crossing lines
Prevent my heady self, I cannot undermine

Creating a monster that's misunderstood
Something nostalgic From my childhood
Warped me and changed me and honestly feels so good
I'm back in my bag, and-that's not hyperbole
I do this artfully, I do this carefully
And yet still fearlessly
Singing these harmonies, and creating a masterpiece like this is carpentry
Something from nothing I'm making gold just from my word debris

You said that you would ride with me
But found myself alone with no company
So now you wanna ride with me
Just know that you can't ride this wave for free

You said that you would ride with me
But found myself alone with no company
So now you wanna ride with me

Speak to me, sing to me
Through your strain, numb my brain
Sing to me, speak to me
Numb my brain, through your strain

I remember a time when I was less vain
Lost a part of me, that man was slain
Can't explain, but mundane, disdain and pain, they just drain
Don't get it twisted, you know this is my domain
I rise above like I was Charlemagne
Not profane but I kill it while remaining humane
I love God, His joy knows no contain
I can't complain, you can't constrain
Through Him my loss is all gain
This is my reign, alone in my Lane
And yet I remain, atop my game
Without a soul in sight to claim my terrain

If you don't get it, I'm fighting the flow
Riding my own wave and not the radio
Spit it in the studio like a manifesto
Audio not enslaved by a ratio
Even if it means I'm riding this tempo solo
By the end I will have poured all of me
Spilling my thoughts in a sea of me
Pouring emotions, so honestly
Take the machete, cut it off like an amputee

You said that you would ride with me
But found myself alone with no company
So now you wanna ride with me
Just know that you can't ride this wave for free

You said that you would ride with me
But found myself alone with no company
So now you wanna ride with me
