Counter-Clockwise Oddisee

[Verse 1]
You wear the face of strength
The armor of a tank
Keep you calm in a bomber's brink
Your eyes are another paint
I seen their true colors through your blinks
Thin out - I'm not here to exploit your chinks
More to reinforce 'em, from the forces sent to see you sink
Stay afloat, and stay a while, and take a break
All you hear is orders barking, brick
And mortar stopping walls and space
What a shame becoming blame of roots, and no escape
Closing gates on fate like all mistakes are born in place
All it takes is pressing forth with form and grace
Forge a bond with more than hate
Meet these words with open arms
And plant your feet the planet shakes

[Chorus]
Counterclockwise you're going in
While you make the same mistakes
Counterclockwise you're going in
Eleven, ten, nine, eight
Counterclockwise you're going in
Seven, six, five, four
Counterclockwise you're going in
Three, two, one, twelve - time
