Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) Clock on the wall got a mind of its own Second hand twitchin’ like it’s callin’ my phone Ash in the tray, smoke curlin’ slow Thoughts get loud but the room stay low Curtains closed, shadows move when I blink Every little sound got me overthink Floorboard creak, was it me or the night? Heartbeat loud like it’s ready to fight (Pre-Chorus) I try to breathe but the air feels thin Every exhale pull me deeper in (Chorus) I’m just waitin’ for the time to tick by Smoke in my lungs, got me stuck in my mind Every second feel stretched in the dark Paranoia whisperin’, tearin’ me apart Eyes on the door, but it never moves Got nothin’ to hide but I still feel used Just waitin’ for the time to tick by While the silence keep tellin’ me lies (Verse 2) TV glow but I muted the sound Faces look fake when they’re flickerin’ out Phone light flash, I ain’t touch it at all Got me feelin’ like I’m missin’ a call Breath in deep but it don’t feel right Chest too tight in the middle of night Every thought like a loop on repeat Tryna stand but I sink in my seat (Pre-Chorus) Tell myself that it’s all in my head But the feeling don’t leave when it’s said (Chorus) I’m just waitin’ for the time to tick by Smoke in my lungs, got me stuck in my mind Every second feel stretched in the dark Paranoia whisperin’, tearin’ me apart Eyes on the door, but it never moves Got nothin’ to hide but I still feel used Just waitin’ for the time to tick by While the silence keep tellin’ me lies (Bridge) Maybe it’s me, maybe I went too far Chasin’ a calm but I raised the bar Now I’m stuck in a loop I can’t break Wide awake in a dream I can’t shake Tick… tick… tick… hear it echo inside Every second like it multiply (Outro) Ash burn low, and the room go still Time keeps movin’ but I never feel So I sit here lost in the high Just waitin’… for the time… to tick by…
