Over thought the choice
What could I have been thinking?
Ruined every star in my sky
The monster is real

Darkness is my armour
I'm holding on for dear life
Graffiti-stained skin
My true colors run dry

The note I meant to leave behind
Urgent scrawl, frantic words
Help I've gone blind
The future isn't meant for those who die

tick tock tick tock tick tock

Clock ticks my heartbeat
Nothing but a mechanical mess
You can't fix a dead battery
Save the seconds meant to be spent

Happy endings are nothing but loose
Interpretation in the eyes of the holder
Peace held close to my chest
I'm just holding on for tonight
