[Clock/TikTok/Fx] [Instrumental/Repeated Drums] [Intro] The clock ticks loud, a steady beat A chilling rhythm of defeat Every second a grain of sand! Slipping through my tired hand! [Verses]Today you’re in school, playing in the grass Tomorrow you'll be driving your kid to class The pages turn fast, the stories unfold Today you’re a child, tomorrow you’re old I laughed at time too young to fear it![Chorus] The mirror lies, a cruel disguise A stranger stares back with vacant eyes My youth is gone and won't repeat I'm a passenger on a one-way street No return, no chance to cheat[Verses/Clean Vocals] Once I was a dreamer, now I'm just a ghost A fleeting thought of what I wanted the most I'm living too fast, I'm mourning the past This world is so vast, yet nothing's meant to last. [Chorus] The mirror lies, a cruel disguise A stranger stares back with vacant eyes My youth is gone and won't repeat I'm a passenger on a one-way street No return, no chance to cheat[Bridge] The constellations burn and fade The cosmic light a fleeting shade From supernova to silent dust A universe bound by decay and rust And still I pray for time to stand still A wish that fate will not fulfill[Screamed Bridge] My youth is gone, the clock devours me! [Chorus] The mirror shows a wrinkled face A stranger trapped in my own place The stranger’s eyes refuse to meet I'm a passenger on a one-way street No return, no chance to cheat[Outro/Emotional] The stars above remind me That forever is only a lie Even light will collapse into silence Like every life under the sky[Distant Scream] (Old man, was it worth it?)
