Tick Tock


Tick Tock goes the time bomb in my head, what'd ya say...I'm better off dead...

Nothing to live for here comes the sun, day after day, the hauntings just begun...

Every day, every hour, every minute, every second...

memories of your words pounding in my head...

at last i can be free but at what cost of those i love, 

the pain is too real there's no way I can rise above...

Tick Tock goes the time bomb in my head, it's either you, or I who will wind up dead...

I begged and pleaded for you to stop.  I cried myself to sleep, but it isn't enough...

The Pain you caused couldn't go away...I tried to get through it...day after day...

Tick Tock goes the time bomb in my head, I'm past that breaking point, don't you understand...

I told those in command, but they wouldn't comprehend, how much I needed someone to hold my hand.

The Tick Tock of the bomb is getting faster now, I can't stop it... I can't go on...

I'm sorry for leaving...I couldn't stay...I'm sorry this happened in the worst possible way.
