Tick, tock, tick, tock.
The time goes by,
It tortures me.
Like a slowly ticking bomb
Inside my head.

Tick, tock, tick, tock.
The steady ticks and tocks
Seem to get slower.
Why can’t time speed up
Or just stop altogether?

Tick, tock, tick, tock.
I think to myself now
Why is it that the tick
Comes before the tock?

Tick, tock, tick, tock
It calms me down a bit now,
The beat is getting faster.
I smile because I know
It’s almost time.
