I'm not gonna go insane
Although sometimes I can't promise that I won't
The clock on the living room wall has neverΒ Β bothered me until I noticed the relentless noise it projects
The first tick u hear the harder it is not to anticipate the rest in high quality exasperation
It mocks ur mind and makes u cringe
The constant ticking is equivalent to an insanity filled syringe-
The worst poison of all
-But I'm not gonna go insane

Life's schedule works like clock work
Nothing ever changes
Each second follows just like the last
Each day fresh and crisp with unwavered blandness
And there is nothing I hate more than consisitency --
But don't worry I'm not gonna go insane

Each day is followed just like the last
With a strict schedule layed upon your desk on shown on your lap
Weather is predicted,so is this game
But really trust me Im not gonna go insane

Oh who am I kidding
I'm teetering towards crazy
The fixed ticking is too much
But I don't want to be a victim of familiarity

Promise me one thing
Before that ever happens
Make sure my life was lived unanticipated

Like a clock stutter
Or an unexpected storm
A broken pendulum

Id rather die young
Then sell my soul to a life full of deja vus

***** me with suspense
**** me with adventure
**** me with spontaneity
But for Gods sake don't **** me with repetition
