Depression

Losing his mind...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

Is it his age? Is he in depression?

Amnesia maybe?

No, it must be depression.

 

Running out of time...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

Why two answers when I ask a question?

He must not like the answers.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

The clock with chime...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

Must I speak with conscience discretion?

She is gone now.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

Losing his mind...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

I can see he hurts in his expression.

He misses her.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

Running out of time...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

She will forever be his only obsession.

But she cannot be here now.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

The clock will chime...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

Marrying anew began his digression.

He does not love her.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

Losing his mind...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

Being lonely has progressed his aggression.

She cannot keep him sane.

That must be why he is in depression.

 

Running out of time...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

 

I must make a confession.

I regret not making time.

That must be why I am in depression.

 

The clock will chime...

Tick-Tock

Tick-To...

 

It is too late to continue...

The clock has chimed...

I am all out of time...

He has lost his mind.
