Time is of the essence

Lights are flashing,

Breaths are suffocating,

Limbs are trembling.

 

It whispers in my ears,

Echoes in the room

Flooding me with constant nausea.

 

Do you deserve to be free?

Do you deserve to feel glee?

Come on how, hurry up and tell me.

 

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock

 

Time is of the essence.

 

The clocks ticks

Seconds, minutes, hours, days

Until I'm gone

 

I wish to be stuck in the past,

Never the present,

At least I know whats waiting for me there.

 

Sew up other’s tears,

Hide your problems since no one cares,

Keep smiling or else you’ll get stares.

 

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock

 

Time is of the essence.

 

The deadline to choose is coming soon:

Be trapped in the guilt again

Or go to the bridge again

 

The bridge where I fell,

Down down down

Letting the darkness swallow me.

 

Let the shadows follow you,

Let the flame burn through,

Because you deserve pain- you know it’s true.

 

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock

 

Time is of the essence.

 

The leaves are falling,

In the constant dullness.

Where are you sun?

 

I need you.

Help me please.

Tell me what to choose.

 

Time is running by,

Say your final goodbye,

And please don’t cry.

 

Tick tock

Tick tock

Tick tock.

 

Time is of the essence.

 

I love you,

I always will

But I need you to promise me one thing:

 

Please don't lea-

 

DING

DING

DING

 

Times up little gaunt,

What do you want?

Don’t worry I won’t taunt.

 

Time.

I just want more time.
