Apparatus - Owen James Berry

Shakin out the hourglass
For every little grain
Turnin 'back the hands
Tryin' to remain

Hold on to ya'
Sanity
You might be okay

Never one of
Vanity
One of yesterday



He's scrambling 'cross the floor
The glass is shattering
He's holed up in the corner
His teeth are chattering

Break
This apparatus
Tryin'
To combat us



Frozen in time
Stuck in this place
Stalling the clockwork
Things he couldn't face

Hold on to ya'
Sanity
You might be okay

Slip into
Insanity
Ride it out today



Just break
This apparatus
Tryin'
To combat us



He's scrambling 'cross the floor
The glass is shattering
He's holed up in the corner
His teeth are chattering



Holding on to the things
As they're driftin' outta space
You've entered a rift, a shift
Outta' place

Hold on to ya'
Sanity
For just one more day

Slip under
This cover
Just hope that you're okay



He's scrambling cross the floor
The glass is shattering
He's holed up in the corner
His teeth are shattering



Frozen in time
He's spinning in place
If you could only help him
If you could just erase



Shakin' out the hourglass
For every little grain
Turning back the hands
Because he needs this to remain



Time
Frozen in time
