Tick Tock

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Ten seconds have passed,

A heartbeat of two per second Keeps my lungs breathing in rhythm.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Ten minutes have passed,

I'm still lying on my bed,

Replaying the same song in my head over and over again.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Ten hours have passed,

Woke up with mud covering my head,

Where was I last night?

Tick Tock, Tick Tock,

Still jamming...

Oh yes, jamming through a decade of sempiternal sadness from the memories.

Tick tock, tick tock,

What am I expecting when the decade has passed?

....

These memories have been left far behind. It’s just some sempiternal sadness from the memories that I never want to contemplate again. .....
