Tick Tock, Tik Tock.
Look to the end where the lightning flashes
Because if you don't catch it before it's gone
You will spend your whole life trying to find it.
You do not want to be that person
Who is wandering aimlessly to the end of their days
Never realizing it, all the things they've lost.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Listen for the voice of someone cherished
Whether for a moment or an eternity
You must remember to value their importance
For if you ignore the sounds of their cries
Or the peels of their laughter in the night
You will find yourself dissatisfied.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Grope for the answers you do not have
Whether or not those answers are your own
Or the stolen aphorisms of others.
You must learn to see yourself in them
And in the rippling images of a broken mirror
Because if you own up someone will repair you.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Speak for all those who have not spoken
You do not want to enlist in their ranks
Which are cold, unforgiving, and lonely.
Be a person who fights back
And does not wait until the last moment
To acknowledge they have something to say.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Taste the sweet joys of life
Take pleasure in the forbidden fruits
As well as those that are sanctified.
There is nothing wrong with being good and bad
But there is something wrong with limiting yourself
To only bitter tasting happiness.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Look to the beginning where all of you started
And come to terms with the fact that
The ends don't always justify the means.
Take pride in what you do
As long as you remember that everyone
Starts and ends in the exact same place.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Look to the end for your sake not theirs
You only ever live one life
Do not let the last light you see
Shed only doubt on your memories...
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock.
