ick tock, Tick tock,
Goes the clock as i sit there,
Silently,
Just watching the time go by

The sun sets, and the room goes black,
I can always hear a faint sound in the dark
The moon shines its light at the old clock,
going Tick Tock all the time
I sit there as I feel empty,
meaningless, life ****** out of me, and dead

Tick tock, tick tock,
The clock keeps ticking,
And I just sit there, staring at it.
Time doesn’t stop for anyone.
I sit here, empty,
Like I’m just a part of the air,
Like I’m invisible,
Like no one even notices.
Everything feels heavy.

Tick tock, tick tock,
The clock keeps ticking,
And I sit here, feeling nothing,
Despite the words people say to keep me going.

I can’t keep up with the ticking,
It’s too fast, too loud,
It reminds me of all the things I’ll never do,
Of all the things I’ll never be.
I try to stay positive,
To keep moving forward,
But all I hear is the ticking,
Louder and louder,
Reminding me of all the dreams I’ve given up on,
Of all the things I’ve failed to do.

Tick tock, Tick tock,
Goes the clock as i sit there,
Silently,
Waiting for no one, day or night
