True Gospel Bookstore - Tick Tock Lyrics

My world is getting fuzzy
My shoulders sting to move
My feet are stuck and muddy
My hair's too tired to grow
My arms are weak and lazy
My breath is short and fast
My ears are courting silence
And my best days are my past

Tick tock I'm turning circles
Tick tock I race the clock
Tick tock I'm going nowhere
Tick tock tick tock tick tock

I look in the mirror
My granddad's looking back
He sat all daylong staring
At the family heirloom clock
It's all that he could see by then
Hands spinning on that face
That's not enough for me at all
Don't let me do the same

Tick tock I'm turning circles
Tick tock I chase the clock
Tick tock I think I'm losing
Tick tock tick tock tick tock

Nobody sees me, nobody hears me, no one looks at my face
How did this happen? Somebody tell me. When did my world begin to fade?
Oh, how did this happen? - Somebody tell me

Tick tock I'm turning circles
Tick tock I hate that clock
Tick tock it's in my house now
Tick tock tick tock tick tock

Cross your arms you young ones
Call me "sir" with your best sneer
Or turn your head to look away
As if I am not here
Your day will be coming
As it has for me
And then you'll feel the loss of worth
And finally hear my plea

Tick tock you'll turn those circles
Tick tock you'll race that clock
Tick tock you're going nowhere
Tick tock tick tock

Tick tock my head is spinning
Tick tock I dread the clock
Tick tock I'm going home now
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
