Tick Tock
Tick tock
The eyes are back from where they came
Watching, waiting, shivering, scratching,
Catching, catching catching
The eyes are back from where they came
Like a glimmer on the wall
Catching, catching, catching
Down they tumble down they fall
Like a glimmer on the wall
Slipping, sliding, grabbing, gliding,
Down they tumble, down they fall
Tick tock, they say, tick tock, they mock
Slipping, sliding, grabbing, gliding
Endless dreams, and still they climb
Tick tock, they say, tick tock, they mock
Reaching with trembling, tearing fingers
Endless dreams and still they climb
Shrieking with voices like rusty gates
Reaching with trembling tearing fingers
Staring with eyes like molten rage
Shrieking with voices like rusty gates
Watching, waiting, shivering, scratching
Staring with eyes like molten rage
Tick tock
