Tick Tick Away

Seeing the time tick away I wonder if this is what I live for If theres more To this . When will the clock cease to exist I consider so much And its so much. I see it sometimes That I could be.... Moments from paradise almost there Just let me go Let me be this way I'm nuts today A temporary insanity Is what I plead I’m not made of perfection I can crawl and bleed I can yell at the top of my lungs…. I can cry myself to sleep That time is not today I suppose. Hm, surprisingly, I have a bit of courage Put off breakdown til some other day..the voices say. I contain myself well For you perhaps. And I wonder with preservation With lack of consideration Oh that something Something has to break through Break through the hard of me
