Clock Factory

How I got into this place?
Bitterness and endless smother
Anomalies within time base
And these people - they touch each other

How I got into this place?
Was there reason for exile
Misdirected into this space
Where the ticking is so vile

They've crushed every wave
Been told to behave
So far I am safe

Is there a way that gets me out?
Or a glimmer of solution
Grinding cogs it's all about
The only obvious is conclusion

They've sucked every life
Bees burned in the hive
Conclusions arrive

How I got into this place?
Needles piercing, indicating
I am a smudge in these bright days
Only staring, only waiting
