tick I cannot be the one who saves you,
tock for I cannot save myself.
tick My happiness is not the issue,
tock it's the darkness that breeds within.
tick Dreams turn into Nightmares,
tock always drowning in the end.
tick Gasping for breath,
tock tight hands around my neck.
tick A flashing white light
tock before the darkness surrounds me.
tick There's a monster in my closet,
tock please don't let it in.
tick My blank expression
tock scares you.
*tick Well, I'm too scared to
tock let you in.
tick My thoughts are filled with turmoil,
tock hidden from all I know.
tick I don't know how to express myself but,
tock I'm feeling rather numb
tick You're all sitting,
tock waiting for my explosion,
and time is running out...
