We'll spend our nights

Cold and alone

Frozen in time

With the steady

Tick

Tick

Tock

Of the clock.

We'll take the night

And let it enshroud us

Because we're tired

Of shivering in time with the

Tick

Tick

Tock

Of the clock.

We'll stay warm

Underneath the shadows

Watching the stars

As they twinkle in time to the

Tick

Tick

Tock

Of the clock.

We'll meld together

Hidden in the darkness

Where the steady

Predictable

Tick

Tick

Tock

Of the clock

Keeps us awake,

But we'll take an hourglass

Turn it over

Watch the sand fall

Because we got tired

Of the way our spine

Shivered up and down to the quiet

Tick

Tick

Tock

Of the ceasless clock
