The Ticking Of The Clock
The time has stopped
 No more ticking of the clocks
 We're locked in the middle of hour 5
 Just relax and close your eyes
 We're not going forward
 Not going backwards
 We're in the middle of an earthquake
 And it won't stop
 The only thing to end the shake
 Is the ticking of the clock
 And I can remember
 What I've done for the past week
 Now it's winter
 Snow has covered all the winding streets
 There's no telling
 When this is ending
 The chill of my bones
 Frostbitten nose
 We're not going forward
 Not going backwards
 We're in the middle of an earthquake
 And it won't stop 
 The only thing to end the shake
 Is the ticking of the clock
 And walkin' down the streets
 Lookin' down at my feet
 Makin' it through the crowd
 New York City
 The city that never sleeps
 Nobody has to sleep now
 I turn my head to find
 We're still stuck in time
 And momma's always told us
 Make the best of a situation
 With every callous
 I get from the freezin'
 Cold
 I wanna go
 But I needa' fight
 Have the strength
 Deep inside
 Pulsin' through my veins
 We're not ging forward
 Not going backwards
 We're in the middle of an earthquake
 And it won't stop
 The only thing to end the shake
 Is the ticking of the clock
 Earthquake
 Won't stop
 End shake
 By ticking clocks
 And I push on
 I push on through everything
 And I push on
 I push on through all the pain
 And the time isn't stuck
 We're still going forward
 Not going backwards
 We've reached the end of an earthquake
 It has stopped
 And now the thing that ended the shake 
 Was the ticking of the clock
 The ticking of the clock
