Tick Tock, You'Re On the Clock

Funny how sneaky time is 
Creeping up on us one by one 
Time always catches up with you 
You have a better chance avoiding death by gun

Tick tock, Tick tock
Living life around the clock
Still trying to escape 
Burning holes in your socks

Destiny is undeniable 
Creeping up on us one by one 
What is meant cannot be blocked
For Destiny controls the gun

At last, the truth is realized 
Acceptance comes around 
Unable to fight time waves 
Swim with the currents so you don't drown
