[Intro] Tick-tock, I hear it loud Silence breaks when time runs out [Verse 1] Caught between the top and ground Voices pulling, spinning ‘round Every choice a different weight Every second seals my fate I can see a thousand roads Every “what if” overloads If I stop, I start to drown So I keep my head bowed down [Pre-Chorus] No one knows the war inside Smiling while I pick a side [Chorus] I only know who I am When the deadline hits my hand When there’s no more time to doubt That’s the moment I break out Yeah, I freeze when time is wide But I burn when it’s confined Funny how I’m lost, then brave Only saved by ticking waves [Verse 2] Middle of the in-between Not the king, not unseen Every answer that I choose Means a hundred things I lose “Take your time,” they always say That’s the price I’m made to pay More I think, the less I move Chasing something I can’t prove [Pre-Chorus] Pressure turns me into steel Now I finally start to feel [Chorus] I only know who I am When the deadline hits my hand When there’s no more room to bend That’s the place I understand Yeah, I doubt when time is free But I cut through clarity Funny how I’m weak, then brave Only strong when time’s a blade [Bridge] If I had forever, I’d never decide If I had a second, I’d set it on fire Maybe I’m broken, or maybe I’m right I just need darkness to turn into light [Outro] Tick-tock, I’m finally me In the end, I set me free
