Mind

Mind Tic tic tic Go the seconds on the clock And the rustling of papers “Someone please say stop!” “I am trapped inside a nightmare” “I am trapped inside my head” “I’m filled with millions of equations” “Was it something that I said?” Tic tic tic “Goes the clock I cannot hear” “Because I’m floating and I’m sinking” “I am drowning in my fear” “I am screaming and I’m crying” And nobody can tell On the outside All is perfect “In my head I’m stuck in hell” I am calm and I’m collected I am joyous and secure “In my head I know I’m lying” “Although my reasons are unsure” Tic Tic Tic And the clock keeps ticking All the voices getting louder “And I know there’s something missing” Everything is moving faster Everything is slowing down “If I scream and no one's listening” “Do I even make a sound?” A millions things have happened “But it’s all inside my brain” “It finally has happened” “I have finally gone insane” We all have tried to reach you But you just can’t hear The clock will still be ticking without you here
