Clock is Ticking

[Verse] I see the cracks in the mirror's face A shattered map of a broken place Footsteps echo in an empty hall Whispers rise but no one calls [Chorus] Stress post traumatique It lingers like a ghost so slick Can’t outrun what’s in my head A battlefield where nothing's said [Verse 2] The nights are long the silence loud I wear my fear like a heavy shroud The past it bites it won't let go A shadow following wherever I go [Prechorus] Close my eyes to see it clear Memories scream in my ear [Chorus] Stress post traumatique It’s a thief it’s a trick Hiding where the light won’t tread A war inside that leaves me dead [Bridge] Counting breaths like ticking clocks Time won’t heal it only mocks Wounds unseen still bleed like rain A storm inside my chest again
