Tick Tock

Tick tock, tick tock
The sound of the clock
Above my bed
In my head
It doesn’t go away

I’m cruelly aware
The world is unfair
Time runs away from us
Most don’t see the fuss
But it never stops

The clock forever ticking
High heels forever clicking
It all just passes by
Nobody ever asks why
It goes so fast

In the blink of an eye
The time has just flown by
And this is the worst part
Stepping into the dark
Because it’s coming

People go about their days
In a hundred thousand ways
But they never stop to think
That they might be on the brink
Of forever

So tick tock, tick tock
Pay attention to the clock
Don’t let little things in the way
Instead think of how you can stay
In memory
