Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Time's running out
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
What's like about?
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
sometimes it's just too hard
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
You feel trapped and barred
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
The emotions trapped inside
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Have often made you lie
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Time's running out, you must decide
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Whether you live....
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Or die....
Tick...Clang

Hmmmm I wrote this based on a dream I had. It was eerie and dark, so you know I loved it. So before I could forget, I grabbed a pencil and paper and voila, "Tick-Tock" Was born.

Exactly! I hadn't thought of it that way, but you pretty much just nailed it on the head!

Yes it is. It's as if your soul knows you have a talent but without words it can't tell you how to start so it shows you the pictures and as you know pictures are worth a thousand words.

So cool! It's funny how some of our best work comes from dreams, isn't it?
