The clock ticks, the hour has struck; I just realized that my life is stuck. Nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide – I'm sunk! The clock just struck. One, two, three, and four it continues on in death-defying horror, more mundane than the hour before. Five, six, seven, and eight I plead, let me escape this vacancy of time that just drifts on by. Nine, ten, eleven, and twelve, I meditate to release the pain of time passing by with no escape. Tick-tock, tick-tock, goes the Clock.
