Tick Tok
Jaide Lynne May 2014
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 can’t sleep, I can’t 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...

Punch the clock
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Feel the sweat sting my eyes
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Clutch the handle
Make off like vandal
Stealing what's yours
Stealing what's mine

Eyes fixed, Teeth grinning
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Harder and harder, No remorse here
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Stabbing, ripping, ****** for more
Do with her as if she's a *****
A hollow shell
And none to tell

A sigh of pleasure
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Turn off the light, shut the door
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Leave her bleeding, battered and bruised
Give her a day off
You'll be back for more

Punch the clock
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tick Tok
Tik tok tik tok
Suara jarum jam menggema dalam ruangan kosong tanpa makna
Menggerogoti memori memori lampau
Menghadirkan sebuah kenangan
Tik tok tik tok
Sunyi, sepi tanpa kehadiranmu
Senyumanmu
Kerinduanku
Menjalar disetiap nadiku
Tik tok tik tok
Engkau pria ku
Tegakah kau membuatku menunggu
Menunggu hal yang tak pasti
Bagai matahari dan bulan yang berdampingan
Tik tok tik tok
Bahkan eksistensimu melebihi suara jarum jam
Yang selalu menggema direlung hati ku
Yang bahkan kosong melompong
Tik tik tik tik
Kini tak terdengar lagi
Jarum jam sudah lelah
Waktu sia sia
Terkelupas bersamaan dengan hujan yang membasahi hati

Tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
"wala dito, kanina pa umalis mama ko"
utos sa anak na walong taong gulang
habang nagtatago sa palikuran
"sabihin mo sa mama mo, na nagbigay ako ng ulam"
"salamat po ninang!"
"walang anuman", bago siya lumisan.

tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
"wala dito, kanina pa umalis mama ko"
utos sa anak na walong taong gulang
habang nagtatago sa palikuran
napakamot na lang ang naniningil ng utang
gigil na nagpaandar ng motor
sapagkat siya'y nagulangan

tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
sa pagkatok, tanong ay "tao po?"
sagot ay "tao po"
biglaan ang pagka gulantang
"anak, dali! magtago ka doon sa palikuran"
alam na niya kung sino ang dumating
takot ang bumalot sa kapaligiran
namumugtong na mga mata
at nginig na mga kamay na parehas kumakaliwa
bakas ang kaba sa mukha

at tatlong katok lang ang layo ng katahimikan
ang pinto'y hindi binubuksan
nabasag ang katahimikan kasabay
ng pagbagsak ng sirang pintuan
nasurpresa sa kanyang mga bisita
nangingilid na ang luha
bigay todo ang pagmamakaawa
isa dalawa tatlo, hanggang anim
anim na nakaunipormeng magsasaka
hindi palay ang itinatanim, kundi bala

kasabay ng panlalamig ng katawan
ang ingay ay nilamon bigla ng katahimikan
at kasabay ng katahimikan
ang kanyang ina
ay
binawian
ng
buhay...

Tik tok tik tok,  
We look back,  
To the people that we've met,
To the places we went,  
To the events that touched our soul,  

Tik tok tik tok,
As time passes by, 
Some travel against the current, 
Refusing to let go,  
Unwilling to consign them to oblivion,  
Hopelessly trying to salvage what was lost,  
Reticently denying the future,

Tik tok tik tok,
As the clocks turns forevermore,
We realise that lost times will never come back,
What has been done can never be effaced,
The only thing to do is to be maturely insouciant,
As there is no such thing as a panacea,

Tik tok tik tok,
The voices of future past deafens us,
With every tik of the clock,
It seems to grow rambunctiously,  
Thoughts run endlessly,
Of paradise on earth,
That we may or may not achieve in our lifetime.

tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

always reading between the lines
my regrets,
my tears,
my regrets

tik tok..
tik tok..

caught in the middle,
can't solve every life's riddle

always up against the walls,

tik tok...
tik tok...

as the sound of the clock,

alas!
no!
alas!

when the day becomes another day
all I can hear in my ears is

tik tok...
tik tok...

Is it morning again?
Do I have to wake up?
Tik Tok
I like this dish
But it doesn't taste the same anymore
Tik Tok
My hair's a mess
But so is my life
Tik Tok
I have to go out
Oh no, face the world
Tik Tok
I'm out for so long
Do I have to go back? Is it home?
Tik Tok
The day passed and it was uneventful. Or was it?
Did I do something wrong? Did something happen?
Tik Tok
Is it morning again?

Rap I:
My embrace is a fortress for you,
I have so often thrown and what can I do?
I can’t see the end of that dark tunnel
So I’m very afraid. I give you signal.
I’m like a desert with a blazing sun,
I'm dying of thirst, but I can not run
Kiss me my baby, I’ll show you the way,
Run to me, before that night is over, day by day…

Verse I:
I miss your eyes and your arms,
I guess I loved you too much.
When this night passes by warm,
I wipe off my tears – tok, tok, tok…
If the moon gaining force – disappear –
Your scent that still remains such.
Will fairy memories turn into fear?
Like rain drops, far away, tok, tok, tok…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Refraine:
Just like the wind, you disappeared
Day by day. I miss you, day by day…

Verse II:
At night, I long walk on memories,
I hear your voice, and words amorous.
The countless nights full vows infinite, young boy…
They become tears – tok, tok, tok…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Refraine:
Just like the wind, you disappeared
Day by day. I miss you, day by day…

Bridge:
If I think of you again,
Tears poured out of my eyes and then,
Please, tell me that you return,
And love outlive tremendous upturn…

Rap II:
You leave me and go far away,
Follow that road and please, just remain.
At the end of this crazy love – harmful troubling,
I was infected by this tough love and kept trembling.
I hope my lips that recite this sad song,
Will be remembered in your black eyes, I can’t wrong.
Kiss me my baby, I’ll show you the way,
Run to me, before that night is over, day by day…

Chorus:
Kiss me baby I’ll must be stay here day by day,
Whisper, please, that you still love me.
Kiss me baby just you can take me day by day,
Hitherto than dry my tears ere…

Outro:
Kiss me baby, take me day by day…

Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
Every second feels eternal
My mind floods with thoughts, each second
I’m drowning, under the flooding thoughts of the truth
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
The truth which I am trying to submerge under the conscious, into the subconscious
It struggles to penetrate the horizon
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick
Time slows down, as I see my thoughts
In front of me, they stand
Time runs out
Tick tok Tick tok Tick tick

Tik tok, tik tok
Life is a clock
Tik tok, tik tok
My ship has left the dock
time is running out so make every second count
Tok tik, tok tic
You make me sick
Tok tik, tok tik
What a fool to make me pick
*what i would do to have to amount

tik tok tik tok
the sound of my personal clock
tik tok tik tok*
the time bomb that just wont stop
ding **** ding ****
the sound of a visitor here
ding **** ding ****
the pain they  try to  feel
splish splash splish splash
the sound of the somber rain
splish splash splish splash
fills an ocean full of my pain
knock knock bang bang
the pain the visiter can finally feel
knock knock bang bang
the pain they   try to heal
once i open the door and
let them in they save me    
from my own ordeal

Bed Time Song

Tik tok ... tik tok
Take a glimpse at the clock
It is turning eight
We can't wait
For the story in the book

Tik tok .... tik tok
Clean up toys like a rock
put this here
Put this there
Clean up the room everywhere

Tik tok ... tik tok
Bath time with some soap
Wash your hand
Wash your leg
Wash the day off your neck

Tik tok ... tik tok
Bed is warm and so soft
Close your eyes
Dream so nice
Tomorrow comes shine and rise

— The End —
