With every second
In every minute
The silence loudens
The darkness deepens
Tock
With every breath
And each heartbeat
The haunting grows
And the shadows creep
Broken
I lay
Both body and mind
With nowhere to run
No solace to hide
Clocks
Stare down at me
And echo my shame
Their jeers and their taunts
Lodging deep in my brain
Won't
Let them win
And tear me apart
Never again
I say to my heart
Stop
Trying to fight!
They scream right at me
Your demons have won
Just cave and let be
Shit.
I am weak
And backed to the wall
My strength is all gone
I'm about to fall
Fuck.
I spring up
And blink at the lights
Having barely made it through
Another such night
Tick tock
These broken clocks
Won't stop
Shit. Fuck.
