Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick...
Tick, tick, tick; 60 seconds to it all.
Tick, tick, tick; is the only sound
I hear at all.
Tick, tick, tick; one window, four walls.
Tick, tick, tick; three beds, one door.
Tick, tick, tick; there's no circulation in this room at all.
Tick, tick, tick; I have no interest to move around anymore.
Tick, tick, tick; I have grown numb to it all.
Tick, tick, tick; the only sound vibrating off these walls.
Tick, tick, tick; I feel like screaming, "HELP ME!" Because I feel so gone.
Tick, tick, tick; I feel so small.
Tick, tick, tick; there is not care in this cruel world.
Tick, tick, tick; is just the sound of white noise.
Tick, tick, tick; the madness of this comforts my suppressed soul.
Tick, tick, tick; over powers the noise beyond these walls.
Tick, tick, tick; is just 60 seconds to it all.
Tick, tick, tick; is not the sound of my pen clicking on and off.
Tick, tick, tick; is the sound of my watch counting seconds to the minute more.
Tick, tick, tick; is the only sound I hear at all.
