[Verse 1]
Are you telling me it's over
Disintegrating, lost, and there's nothing I can do?
Before you drop another verbal bomb
Can I arm myself with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue?

[Pre-Chorus]
As my heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of my mind
"You'll get over it," you say
"In time, in time"

[Chorus]
If the clocks are black
Absorbing everything but
A remembering
How we made it that
Clocks are black

[Verse 2]
You say, "Get over it if 50 is the new black, hooray
This could be your lucky day"
But my cables they are surging
Almost over, overloading as you disengage

[Pre-Chorus]
Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind?
"We'll get over it," you say
"In time, in time"
[Chorus]
If the clocks are black
Absorbing everything but
A remembering
How we made it that
Clocks are black

[Bridge]
That's it, you're done
You've screwed up your life
Before it's begun
There are those who say
I am now too old to play

[Verse 3]
See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job
Because they hear the ticking of her clock
At only 15 - I said 15 - they say her future's bleak
She should have started this at 3

[Pre-Chorus]
As her heart is slowly ripping into pieces
Disconnecting from the circuits of her mind
"She'll get over it," you say
"In time, in time"
Stop Father Time
[Chorus]
If the clocks are black
Absorbing everything but
A remembering
How we made it that
How our clocks are black

[Outro]
Before you drop another verbal bomb
Can I arm myself with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue?
