Tick Tock

Tick tock, time is passing on clocks I never count the hours, I know one day they'll stop And if they stop a little bit too soon Will I spend the moment wondering was I a fool? I keep wondering what's wrong with me Looking around, don't like what I see Maybe I'm different, maybe I'm broke All I know is this place makes me choke With its gaseous rancidness seeping through the streets Everybody's laughing, but everybody reeks If I don't fall in line, I'll be targeted for sure 'Cause the way I am, it doesn't suit their cause Tick tock, life is getting boring I just keep on snoring whilst everyone else is applauding They're happy with the way that things are (but I'm not) They're happy just to stay 'til they rot (but I'm not) I need to live, I need some life (oh) Inside these walls, everything has died (died) I really need that resurrection in me Someplace I can be, where I just can't see these damn clocks (Hey) tick (boom) tock (tock), the chime it never goes I keep dotting all the crosses playing tic-tac-toe With the demons in my head, they keep signing on the o's If I'm ever gonna win, I need to get out of this hole Tick tock, the time it never stops I could count the hours, days and minutes 'til I lose the plot And if that plot is lost a bit too soon Will I spend the future wondering was I a fool? And I keep wondering when will I be free Lookin' around at the cage where I sleep And maybe I'm the enemy, maybe I'm the ruse All I know is this place has been cruel Tick tock, life has started crawling I just keep on stalling, everything is so appalling I'm mad about the way that things are, but they're not I'm mad about the roles and the parts, but they're not I need some lift, I need some flight (oh) For on the ground, everything has died (died) I really need that resurrection in me Someplace I can be, where I just can't see these damn clocks Tick (boom) tock (tick), the chime it never goes I keep dotting all the crosses playing tic-tac-toe With the demons in my head, they keep signing on the o's If I'm ever gonna win, I need to get out of this hole 'Cause I'm sick of all the people that have taunted me A good guy going bad inside his privacy For everything I am, am I the honest me? I need to be the one with no apologies Tick (boom) tock (tick), the chime it never goes I keep dotting all the crosses playing tic-tac-toe With the demons in my head, they keep signing on the o's If I'm ever gonna win, I need to get out of this hole Tick (boom) tock (tick), the chime it never goes I keep dotting all the crosses playing (tic-tac-toe!) The demons in my head, they keep signing on the o's If I'm ever gonna win, I need to get out of this hole
