Counting Down
Tik-tok. Tik-tok.
The year is running ‘way.
Will the next be better
Or be wrought with tragedy?
Tik-tok. Tik-tok.
Dragging through the week.
Will the next improve
Or be ever more as bleak?
Tik-tok. Tik-tok.
Every day a step.
Will there be a future
Or just moments of regret?
Tik-tok. Tik-Tok.
The hours ticking by.
Will we make it through
Or will everybody die?
Tik-tok. Tik-Tok.
The minutes counting down.
With every passing moment
Must I feel that I may drown?
Tik-tok. Tik-Tok.
The seconds fade away.
How can we see tomorrow
Through the horrors of today?
