Clocks cricketing
The clocks will be forever ticking
Dripping blood, it will never, ever, stop
Can you hear my mind cricketing?

Seconds pass, coldly yet slowly blinking
You just want it to stop, right? It should stop
The clocks will be forever ticking

Hey.. our time is still sinking, ya know?
Come on, let's go see the meaningless crops
Can you hear my mind cricketing?

The clock's hands are beautifully linking
You know.. one day you'll go down with a plop
The clocks will be forever ticking

"Please.. just let go of the trinket"
A seductive whisper says as you rot
Can you hear my mind cricketing?

Your tea's getting cold, please drink it
Grabbing your hand, I hold it, it's hot
The clocks will be forever ticking
Can you hear my mind cricketing?
