A Hand on the Clock (alternate version)

Waking up in a bad dream

You don't know if it's real or a sim

Where are you going?

Do you even recall where you've been?

Going round in a circle

You don't know if you're dead or alive

You're stuck in this minefield

You know you could never survive

You're just a hand on the clock

A cog in their machine

A pawn in the game

A pixel on the screen

A hand on the clock

Make every second count

A hand on the clock

And time is running out (Time's running out)

You can't trace him

You can't chase him

A grey and nameless mass

No one stands out

You can't match him

You can't catch him

A shadow on the wall

A face in the crowd

You can't track him

Or attack him

In here nobody stands out

You can't hunt him

Confront him

Just another face in the crowd

Waking up in the darkness

You discover it's all in your mind

You're locked in a cycle

You want out, but you can't die

Getting lost in this new real

Going back to the past

They say you can't change it

But you know there is always a chance

You're just a hand on the clock

A cog in their machine

A pawn in the game

A pixel on the screen

A hand on the clock

Make every second count

A hand on the clock

And time is running out (Time's running out)

You can't match him

You can't catch him

Shadow on the wall

A face in the crowd

You can't track him

Or attack him

In here nobody stands out

You can't hunt him

Confront him

Just another face in the crowd

You're just a hand on the clock

A cog in their machine

A pawn in the game

A pixel on the screen

A hand on the clock

Make every second count

A hand on the clock

And time is running out (Time's running out)

It's completed

He's defeated

A new time created for all

You saved them

You gave them

A new future to explore
