Watch the clock

And wonder who said that time flies by

Keep counting hours and minutes and seconds

In the same interval of time

If all you can do is waste away

And waiting for the hands to change

You might as well

Be alone in this room for good

So

Tick-tock

Watch it mocking you

And every little move that you make

It says "Don't you dare

Look away, leaving will be your mistake

Do you wanna step through that door

Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who

Will tear apart every piece of you

And chain your soul down with them, too?

Little girl, you've got a lot to learn

Of how the world will treat your turn

If I were you I'd never speak

Never let it turn on me"

You've got a mind and a mouth and a body attached

But let's be honest, they're not matching up

You just think about how everything would be better

If you could just shut up

But the world's not that forgiving

And if you keep on sitting

Patience runs thin like the wire you're on

So

Tick-tock

Watch it mocking you

And every little move that you make

It says "Don't you dare

Look away, leaving will be your mistake

Do you wanna step through that door

Of liars and cheats and scoundrels who

Will tear apart every piece of you

And chain your soul down with them, too?

Little girl, you've got a lot to learn

Of how the world will treat your turn

If I were you I'd never speak

Never let it turn on me"

You can scrape through the walls

Claw through the floorboards

Break all the windows

Refuse and ignore

The answer in your hands

You can blame the world

For never letting you in

But it's you in the box and the door's little lock

Has the key already in

So

Tick-tock

Watch it mocking you

And every little move that you make

It says "Don't you dare

Look away, staying will be your mistake

Do you wanna step through that door

Of liars and cheats and scoundrels? Yes

But you've been avoiding all the best

And the sunsets are calling

There's a world you've left behind

But it's not something you cannot find again"

Watch the clock

Every second

Don't you dare lose the time

There's nothing better than now

To be the most alive
