From the recording The Sentinel

Lyrics

[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
I count ceiling cracks
Like tally marks
On the neck
Of a broken hourglass

Distant laughter
Down a long hallway
Someone’s calling
But it’s only yesterday

[Verse 1]
Teeth in the clock
Biting at my wrist
Every little tick
Another quiet risk

I google symptoms
At 4 a.m. sharp
My heart misfires
I rehearse the dark

I picture the box
Too tight
Too still
Imagine the silence
And call it a thrill

Hold my own breath
Just to feel it go
Then drag it back in
Terrified to know
