Tick
I read every word to see what makes you tick
the deeper I go the thicker it all gets
still no clearer as I start to regress
as I find myself trapped in the midst of it
meaning obscure, indefineable, vague
the less clear it all is, the less you betray
it could be about you or anyone on anyday
the less you give the more you take away
I was always there waiting for you
to drop the shroud and show me truth
I stayed too long and bought myself the blues
nothing do you offer to keep me next to you
