Tick Tock
• Written by user530109762
yup
Its old school
hearing the clock going tick tock
Seems like times never coming to a full stop
Grandfathers moving from side to side
Only chiming at one time
but the chime is like an old rhyme,
Mice running up the clock,
the clock struck one,
more like the clock struck done,
hickory dickory dock.
Nightime rhymes,
making the kids minds go why,
falling asleep to the sounds of tick tock.
Cause God knows reality was blocked,
we were babes in this tiny time warp,
never worrying bout no support,
nor caring bout them reports,
just colors floating in our minds,
the day was on replay,
cause time flew anyway,
no importance,
no recognition,
cause now we lookin back,
thinking bout how naive and stupid we all were,
for letting the precious slip right from our laps.
Grandathers moving from side to side,
but the rhymes have been held up,
seems the mind has just shut up,
So we are hearing the tick tock,
but there is no clock,
the sound is in our heads,
cause time is escaping like sweat,
one after the other,
drip drop,
missing the wave of the hand across the face,
tick tock,
hasnt stopped,
its dropped.
Im feeling all the right funk,
I don't drink to get drunk,
I drink for the purpose of survival,
Never getting behind the wheel,
Cause life's too precious,
Cause time needs to go tick tock,
In order for time to restart,
The gears spinning in that clock,
Like the hands of time spinning on those rhymes,
Cause time stops for no one,
Just keeps on spinning,
Round and round,
Faster and faster,
Till the hands just fall off.
I don't sleep for those sweet dreams,
I sleep for an escape,
Keeping those eyes just shut,
Tossing and turning,
Cause my mind won't cut,
Pondering on about those mistakes,
All those fakes,
Cause lord knows i'm undoubting,
Just keep on letting them in,
Even though hearts have been broken time after time,
But i guess the clock just keeps going tick tock,
Cause the pain don't stop,
It won't make you halt,
It's not worth the time,
Yes the hands are moving slower now,
But they be speeding up,
Until you hear the tick tock.
