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?
