There's a gentle metronome Resting on my writing desk Like a robotic lullaby Humming me to rest Tick-tick-tick Through the night Let my wrongs turn to rights A dream that's a home Tick; goes the metronome. There's a fragile metronome Posing on my wood bookshelf The only sound in the room Echoing all by itself Tick-tick-tick All day long A sharp, melodic song Cranking out a soothing tone Tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a cracked metronome Sitting on my windowsill Clocking in and out The worst type of sleeping pill Tick-tick-tick Night and day Hypnotizing it's prey True tranquility stands alone Tick tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a defective metronome Laying on my bedroom floor It's sickening harmony Rots me to my core Tick-tick-tick Losing power I'm awake every hour A heart weighed down by stone Tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a shattered metronome Placed at the foot of my bed A sound that’s lost its tempo A heartbeat that's fled Tick-tick-tick In my brain Repetition in vain Break me til I'm nothing but bone Tick. Stops the metronome.

Lost Tempo
There's a gentle metronome Resting on my writing desk Like a robotic lullaby Humming me to rest Tick-tick-tick Through the night Let my wrongs turn to rights A dream that's a home Tick; goes the metronome. There's a fragile metronome Posing on my wood bookshelf The only sound in the room Echoing all by itself Tick-tick-tick All day long A sharp, melodic song Cranking out a soothing tone Tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a cracked metronome Sitting on my windowsill Clocking in and out The worst type of sleeping pill Tick-tick-tick Night and day Hypnotizing it's prey True tranquility stands alone Tick tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a defective metronome Laying on my bedroom floor It's sickening harmony Rots me to my core Tick-tick-tick Losing power I'm awake every hour A heart weighed down by stone Tick tick; goes the metronome. There's a shattered metronome Placed at the foot of my bed A sound that’s lost its tempo A heartbeat that's fled Tick-tick-tick In my brain Repetition in vain Break me til I'm nothing but bone Tick. Stops the metronome.
