Clock - Irene Skylakaki

Close your eyes

Think that you are near

I feel like you are here

But you're not

All I've seen

Is different dimensions

With similar perceptions

Of the same

But the clock kept going tick tock

And I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking and those

Big men talking and our kids just hopping around

Open your eyes my breath is fading

My dreams are burning into ash

All I need is a simple celebration

But my imagination wilts retreats

But the clock kept going tick tock

And I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking

And those big men talking

And our kids just hopping around

As the clock was ticking

I felt this pain in my chest

And I realized that all this time

My life's been a mess

Though I wanted you to pieces

There was nothing to do

'Cause it's you you're letting us

You're leading us boo

Voices spinning around

And around in my head

There's no one who can save me

When I'm stuck in my bed

The world is full of scary

People walking around

All the ladies and those big men

And kids hopping along

But I'm strong

I know it deep inside I can find

And I'll make it in my way

But this might imply

That I'm feeling cries

And society lies

And the only truth I see is

Written in this child's eyes

But the clock kept going tick tock

And I became what I was not

And the ladies kept walking and those big men

Talking and our kids just hopping around

Close your eyes

Think that you are near

I feel like you are here

But you're no
