lyrics

hello ticking man
hello ticking man
your face is a clock
your heart is a tin can
I tried to be you
ticking man
how can I be you ticking man
when you're breathing like a bomb
how long do you think you can hold on

to what they want you to be

oh I can see
you ticking man
I can see you
ticking man
with that paper in your mouth
and those sticks you use to stand
I try and reach you
ticking man
how can
I reach you
ticking man
when the only time you dream
is with that thing strapped to your hand
you can't hold on

to what they want you to be

oh look at me
ticking man
look at me
ticking man
cuz Im here
cuz of you
and I still don't understand
how I can love you
ticking man
how can I love you ticking man
when the only time I'm seen
is when I've won the game you've planned
I can't hold on
to what you want
I can hold on

change the world
to be

below you
ticking man
I stand
below you
ticking man
with you head held so
up high
and your soul
sunk in the sand
but I still love you
ticking man
yes I still love you
ticking man
and now the people pass you by
and the rain is in the sky
so no one can see you cry
go on

you don't need a reason to feel pain

That actually, its really good that Im here. I understand through song. ... more
