Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking

Somewhere a clock is ticking And your brother has passed. His last words were your name. He was afraid and in the dark So he pulled the covers over his head, Just to get away. Somewhere a clock is ticking And your father is gone. He fought demons and diseases. He lived in a hellhole for years While you sought a bottle Just to get away. Somewhere a clock is ticking But you'll never see them again. It ticks off the years And the grey in your hair, It tells you to give in Just to get away.
