Tick Tock Clock (Parade of Sirens) Lyrics

At this point in the timeline

I think that I'm accepting that I'm always gonna feel like this

A heart that's beating slower

A mind constantly wondering if anything is worth the risk

It's not getting better

It's not getting worse

I'm only ever idling distracted

Oh, you've got anxiety?

Here take these, don't feel a thing

The disconnection might just be impacted

Are you calm? I hope so

Cuz this is all there ever is

So lets just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

And in a childhood of excitement I'll just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

In a parade of sirens

What a shame to know we can't go back in time

And they'll say that I'm a fake

Or that this is so cliche

But a thousand different people have reflected different ways

And if I could go back

And start again, I'd probably skip the fast beats

And latch on to something catchy

Or completely kill The Action Team

But I know

That it meant a lot to make it

And in lots of ways, I'm still completely proud of it

But I spent so long imagining

That life would be a certain thing

And it isn't

And I'm not sure I'm okay with that

Oh god, did I just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

And in a raging wave of violence I'll just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

In a parade of sirens

What a shame to know it's only in my mind

I could've stopped it

Even if I turn 100, life is a quarter over

Even if I do it perfect from this point, I'm decades older

Why I can't I push thoughts aside and tell myself to think this never

Cuz all I do is right now is wait to glitch through the map and fall forever

Constantly imagining and wondering if all I need is

Enough consistent bumps to feel like solid ground at certain speeds

Sleep, wake up, repeat the thing

Is less and less appealing to me

If that's the game I'm forced to enter

I guess it's fine, so what, whatever

It's not getting better

It's not getting worse

I'm only ever wishing I was perfect

Oh the pills are helping? Great

Maybe now you'll contemplate

You're gonna die, you better make it worth it

With everything to gain, you knew it

The world in your hands, you blew it, now

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

And in an absent state of mindless I'll just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

In a parade of sirens, tonight

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

And in a panicked state of silence I'll just

Watch the time slip by

Tonight I'm lost in a parade of sirens

In a parade of sirens

What a shame to know we don't get out alive

But if I have to go, then consider this goodbye
