[Instrumental] [Verse 1] In the stillness of the night, when shadows blend with fear A clock ticks in the distance, its sound sharp and clear A whisper in the silence, a secret left untold A shiver down my spine as the darkness starts to unfold [Chorus] With every tick a heartbeat echoes through my mind A looming sense of danger, a truth I cannot find A life-blood shot in sequence, a strobe that cuts like knives I'm trapped inside this moment, lost within our lives Time's edge, dancing on a line Frozen in a moment where darkness intertwines Cold adrenaline courses, they race within my veins As I search for an escape But I'm tethered by these chains [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Footsteps echo softly, like a predator's embrace The air is thick with tension, it quickens every pace Voices murmur warnings, but I can't make them out Each second stretches longer, drawing me in doubt [Chorus] With every tick a heartbeat echoes through my mind A looming sense of danger, a truth I cannot find Reflections in the window, they shift but never stay I'm running from the shadows that are leading me astray Time's edge, dancing on a line Frozen in a moment where darkness intertwines Cold adrenaline courses, they race within my veins As I search for an escape But I'm tethered by these chains [Bridge] And as the clock unwinds My heart begins to race Every second slipping I lose this deadly chase Premise of my courage fades beneath the weight of time As I spiral deeper downward, losing rhythm Losing my mind [Instrumental] [Chorus] Tick-tock, tick-tock, sounding in your ear Can you feel the pressure building Can you sense the despair Time's edge, dancing on a line Frozen in a moment where darkness intertwines Cold adrenaline courses, they race within my veins As I search for an escape But I'm tethered by these chains So here I stand, a captive of this hourglass Its grains of sand have made me, can't escape or I create The ticking turns to silence But the echoes linger still In the cold embrace of time, I must confront my will Time's edge I've walked its path And now I'll take my stand With every tick I'll break the chains And seize my own command [Instrumental]
