Tick tock Tick tock Act first Think later Understand when the smoke is gone My mind was forged In pressure and storms And every year The weight grows strong Tick tock Tick tock There's a clock in my chest Tick tock Tick tock Every second A loaded threat Time won't stop And neither will I Fuel in my lungs Fire inside No time for games No time for show If something must move I pull the trigger And go While they debate What's right or wrong By the time they speak It's already done Tick tock Tick tock My mind won't rest This pressure now Became my vest This ain't a race Against your pace It's war with the mirror Face to face Tick tock Tick tock A bomb in my chest Time screaming loud Every regret I'm not running Against you I'm running Against me If the world screams Slow down That's something I can't be If it burns To watch someone rise Then don't look At me My mind keeps moving Before I can feel I act first Then make it real Almost a machine Cold routine Emotion slips In between In the end What had to be done I did Even with voices Filling my head Funny hearing judgment From those instead Because in the end I carried the weight They never gave me Every mistake Taxed my future For them it was nothing For me it was brutal They never stood Where I stood Never ran Through what I could Never slept With rain on the roof Counting seconds Searching for proof If your voice only rises To judge Then your weight Won't move my path You don't set my pace You don't choose my north Those who never fell Don't know the cost Those who never bled Don't know the weight Of a whole damn world I had to take They talk from chairs I ran through storms They held opinions I held the world Tick tock Tick tock Time running Tick tock Tick tock Mind burning Tick Tock Heart still beating Time revealing Who's still breathing It's never about Beating someone In the end It's beating The worst in me They can talk They can measure But in the end I did more Than they ever did For me Words disappear In the wind But actions stay Until the end Tick Tock Time never lies Every second Redefines
