The Thief of the World


Nothing is safe,

Tick tock,

Not even your life,

Tick tock,

It will take it all,

Tick tock,

No matter how small,

Tick tock,

You won't even know,

Tick tock,

When it will go,

Tick tock,

Nothing lasts forever just ask the clock.

 

Memories will fade,

Tick tock,

Friends will move away,

Tick tock,

Possessions will break,

Tick tock,

There are chances you won't take,

Tick tock,

Moments forgotten.

Tick tock,

Relationships rotten,

Tick tock,

Everything is taken by the theif of the world,

The clock.
