With Time, The Ticks Stop Talking

[Chorus, L.]
Traveling through the time when these thoughts were relieving
Before the past finds the clock, striking down uneasily
How am I gonna find myself without you not believing?
I guess it's time this second I revive what I believe in

[Verse 1, L.]
Give me seconds, give me minutes, give me all the time I need when fixing these fixations as I'm sounding rather needy
You don't listen to me lately
Maybe that's the pills I'm taking, but I'm wishing for an answer, rubbing alcohol for genies
Hanging on the edge as hangovers for trapezes
Like the Great Houdini, poof, all my problems gone til it catches up like "Oof', but til then, the time goes on
The ticks are catching up to me, biting til I'm numb and I wanna ball in all the moolah, but a dollar's not the dream
Should I bawl beside the corner?
Maybe I should get some sleep
Sky falling til the morning, night crawling as I dream
In the sleepy hollows with a hollowed side to scream when the hallowed aren't following the trail I pieced with tears
When you calling out to God, you're also altered by your fears
Where's my momma when I need her?
She probably falling asleep again, tired from me asking for money I need for weekends, huh?

[Verse 2, blvv]
Tick tock
The minutes pass by on the clock
The hours fly by, gotta watch
Can’t keep track of time-bought watch
I’m feeling like I need some time to cope with this internal conflict
Feeling like I'm trapped inside inside a cell
Treat me like a convict
Lately I be feelin like nobody really listening
I’m sinking lower into my mattress, daylight diminishing..

Gotta get up, gotta get out of the door
Walk the Trail of Tears, relocate
I had to leave home
Stuck in a lucid dream
Can’t tell the difference no more
Running from my fears
I think it’s time to get up and go

Been so broke (broke)
Shit ain’t a joke (ain’t no joke)
Was getting that white on the low, (Betty)
Lost sight of myself
I didn’t know where to go
Say that they’re there when you carry their load
Once you down, they got invisible cloaks
Can’t see ahead, it’s so dark and I’m cold
Waves crashing on me, can’t swim undertow

Everyday I used to pray till
I excepted life is like this
All my vices aren’t helping me
I drink too much Hennessy
My family keeps telling me I should consider therapy

[Bridge, L.]
Catch your breath for a second, give me minutes, give me hours before the months start preventing me from collecting this power
Watch your step, clock is ticking
Don't wander off from the distance
Why don't you cherish the moment instead of feeling reminiscent?

[Outro, blvv]
I’ll take any and everything I can get if it means not getting lost in the dissonance
What’s the difference?
You always ask, but you don’t ever answer
Bad habits resemble cancer
No disciple, you’re a master

You should know this time around you’re the only higher power
Use this time wisely
The hand is ticking by the hour
He who shoulders pain alone will surely be devoured
