Tick Tock
Seeking knowledge
Turn to thee
Eyes hazy & distant
Lacking clarity
Cold mysterious world
The burden it builds
Pushing the very mindset
That has been safe untouched
Tick Tock… Tick Tock
Shadows grow closer
Tick Tock… Tick Tock
Time grows still
Gray lights dim in a city
Where no one cares
Each looking to fulfill
A desire which isn’t yet there
Pushing the limits
This tiny existence
A pendulum swings with
Death lurking around
Tick Tock… Tick Tock
The shadows grow closer
Tick Tock… Tick Tock
Time grows still
Six feet down & looking up
The time is nearly here
With each days blinding light
One step closer
To revealing our selves
The maker sees
A different soul
Deep within the eager mind
Tick Tock… Tick
