Tick Tok
There is a clock in my house that is always ticking.
Tick tok tick tok
Sometimes, when I am all alone all I can hear is that clock
tick tok tic tok
hypnotizing me, transporting me to a place within my mind, a place that used to be beautiful and tragic, but now I can't tell which one anymore.
tick tok tick tok
I have began to count the ticks each one reminding me of the time I have wasted
tick tok tick tok
Each second, minute, hour of my life that I thrown away.
tick tok tick tok
I swear if this goes on any longer my heart will begin to beat in the metronomic rhythm
tick tok tick tok
Is no one else bothered that each tick represents one less second until death?
tick tok tick tok
Is this all just in my mind? Am I the only one who is going insane from the--
tick tok tick tok
I canβt sleep, I canβt think, all I can hear is ticking
tick tok tick tok
Its like a time bomb in my head
tick tok tick tok
Waiting to explode
tick tok tick toc
Is it me or is the clock getting louder...
tick tok tick tok
THE **** CLOCK!
tick tok tick tok
IT WONT SHUT UP!
tick tok tick tok
TELLING ME THAT NOTHING LASTS
tick tok tick tok
REMINDING ME THAT TIME IS PASSING AND I CANT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT!
tick tok tick tok
I pull out the batteries
tick toc tick----
So, ticking clocks seem to drive me insane...
