Lyrics
Tick, tock this clock is killing me
Time is not on my side today
Wake up, nobody's here to help
Just me and my own demons
Just wait I'm right on track again
Must find a way to be there on time
I see myself before you
I see how I adore you
Everywhere it's all I see
Your apocalyptic smile
Always burning like the sun
It's taken me down before
And I'm sure it's gonna do it again
Can't wait until you're done
The re-creation of my mind
You did it once before
And I'm sure you're gonna do it again
Tick, tock my time is running out
My past is closing in now
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
A dead star or a supernova
I hide my secrets in the sun
One day I'll show them to you
I see myself before you
I see how I adore you
Unleash the dead and paint the sky red
Release the flood and let it run
Just blow the horn and let your horse ride
Release the hounds and black the sky
Please tell me what to do to get it right again
I don't wanna see that fire in your eyes
Please tell me what to do to get another day
I promise I will always be on time
Make way for the lovers in moonlight
Make way for the media star
Can't see that he once was a loser
