Tick-Tock of the Midnight clock


Tick-Tick of the Midnight clock

 

Tick-Tock goes the Midnight clock

once again in this repetive spot

"Who am I meant to be?"

"Where I am I suppoused to go?"

Tick-Tock goes the Midnight clock

 

The night light hits my eyes

They don't know of my painful heart mine's

Tearing me from place to place

Never allowing me to have a peaceful taste

Tick-Tock goes the Midnight clock

 

"How would they know my heart?" 

"Is it all really on my part?"

With the all the sound's of the night

Only the Tick-Tock on the clock feels right

Tick-Tock goes the Midnight clock

 

Comfort is fleeting

and only my heart is beating

Sleep consumes my whole person

Only the Tick-Tock of the Midnight clock will be nursing

Tick-Tock goes the Midnight clock
