Tick, tock

Goes the clock

As a figure chips and cracks

Wishing time could go back

With every tick

And every tock

Tick, tock

Continues the clock

Each hand making a new incision

Tears falling in melodic rhythm

With every tick

And every tock

Tick, tock

The never stopping clock

Their heart degrades like an ancient stone

Falling before a cruel mistress' throne

With every tick

And every tock

Tick tock

Why can't it freeze the clock

Slowly aging and slowly breaking

Nothing can stop the constant aching

That comes with every tick

And every tock

Tick tock

Listen to the silent clock

Dust and webs build

No longer by time are they willed

No more ticks

And no more ticks

Tick tock

We all have a clock

Don't let your tick tocks run out

We can't live our lives without

Every tick

And every tock
