But the clock kept going tick-tock

Clock

Close your eyes

Think that you are near

I feel like you are here

But you're not

 

All I've seen

Is different dimensions

With similar perceptions

Of the same

 

But the clock kept going tick-tock and I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking and those big men talking and our kids just hopping around

 

Open your eyes, my breath is fading, my dreams are burning into ash

All I need is a simple celebration but my imagination wilts, retreats

 

But the clock kept going tick-tock and I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking and those big men talking and our kids just hopping around

 

As the clock was ticking I felt this pain in my chest and I realized that all this time my life's been a mess

Though I wanted you to pieces there was nothing to do, 'cause it's you, you're letting us, you're leading us, boo

Voices spinning 'round and 'round in my head

There's no one who can save me when I'm stuck in my bed

The world is full of scary people walking around

All the ladies and those big men and kids hopping along

But I'm strong

I know it deep inside I can find

And I'll make it in my way, but this might imply

That I'm feeling cries, and society lies

And the only truth I see is written in this child's eyes

 

But the clock kept going tick-tock and I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking and those big men talking and our kids just hopping around

 

Close your eyes

Think that you are near

I feel like you are here

But you're not
