[Intro]
The countdown in my head goes tick tick,
The ending couldn't come so quick
Each day is one less worry,
Don't know if I want it to slow down or hurry
[Verse]
You got plans, and I got worries.
Once the time comes, that's when I'll learn what was buried
I'll know how it all started and when it ended
See how it got all twisted and bended
But either way I'd feel stuck in the past.
[Pre Chorus]
All those days I felt that weight,
Not knowing if I'll make it or if I break.
Would everything be clear or blurry?
When it all ends,will I get peace from all these memories?
I got this feeling that my world might rock like an earthquake
[Chorus]
Everyday I hear the TICK TICK
Something big's gonna happen I can feel it
"Everything will make sense once you know."
Countdown is getting shorter,oh how time has flown
Don't know whether I want it to end or not
The endless tick of the clock
Used to feel so alive, and now I feel like a robot
[Verse]
"You'll know soon enough."
Everything you say is so vague!
Why can't you tell me now?!
What's with the wait?
Lost all track of time,don't know if it's night or day
Is morning is it noon?
Get out of bed and cycle through
Is it really as bad as it seems,is it all going to crash down?
Will it all just be a dream or my doom?
Oh I don't know where to look to.
[Pre Chorus]
All these years, gone through the motions
Hoping one day I won't wake up groaning
Fantasizing what you'd say finally on that day
You say you wish you didn't have to wait,then let's skip to the part where it's like I'm on a blind date
Not knowing what I'll walk into is something I really hate
[Chorus]
Everyday I hear the TICK TICK
Something big's gonna happen I can feel it
"Everything will make sense once you know."
Countdown is getting shorter,oh how time has flown
Don't know whether I want it to end or not
The endless tick of the clock
Used to feel so alive,and now I feel like a robot
[Bridge]
Create the suspense so tight,
Making the dark come into the light
"Skeletons in the closet",yeah that's the saying
So here's me on my knees,praying for the answers that I'm craving
"Why does this countdown feel like doom?"
Will I shrink or will I bloom?
These are the type of questions that I have endlessly asked
The answer is so unknown,I don't know how this will go
The truth will be unmasked
[Final Chorus]
Everyday I hear the TICK TICK
Something big's gonna happen I can feel it
"Everything will make sense once you know."
Countdown is getting shorter,oh how time has flown
Don't know whether I want it to end or not
The endless tick of the clock
Used to feel so alive, and now I feel like a robot.
Tell me know so I can finally rest,
Take this heavy weight right off my chest
I'm begging,I'm pleading,I'm praying
"Answer me now!"
I'm tired of the cycles I've gone through and all the games I've been playing
[Outro]
Until then, I'll hear the endless tick
I don't know what you'll say on that day
But either way
It's a brick you're throwing my way
