As the Clock Ticks
As the clock ticks
The stars tuck me in
Each second passes into oblivion
The night welcomes me
Eyes stay open
Body grows weary
The final flickers of activity
Closing up shop inside
As the clock ticks
Shadows dance on the wall
The blankets clutch me
I feel every part of me
My soul lays down
Body grows weary
Closing up shop
As the clock ticks
Noises wish me goodnight
Questioning my resilience
Mind begins to fade
Body grows weary
Closing up
As the clock ticks
My pillow holds the world
Dreams overtake reality
Body grows weary
Closing
As the clock ticks
Body shuts down
