The Ticking Clock Lyrics

Time keeps on slipping away (away)

Pressure builds with each passing day

Walls are closing in all around me now

Doubts like whispers begin to grow loud

They expect that I should just give in

But the fire within starts to begin

Can I make it? Is there still a chance

Or will I just fade into the trance

Ticking clock echoes in my head (my head)

Fear of failure is what they have bred

But my vision is strong and it is true

I'll break through no matter what they do

Every second feels like a heavy weight

They just anticipate my downfall's fate

Must I compromise my inner core

Or fight for what I am striving for

Can I make it? Is there still a chance

Or will I just fade into the trance

Ticking clock echoes in my head (my head)

Fear of failure is what they have bred

But my vision is strong and it is true

I'll break through no matter what they do

They want me to turn, to walk their path

But their narrow world fuels my inner wrath

My resolve is set, my spirit's bold

A different story will soon unfold

Ticking clock echoes in my head (my head)

Fear of failure is what they have bred

But my vision is strong and it is true

I'll break through no matter what they do

The clock is ticking, but I will rise

My spirit soars beyond their lies
