[Verse] Rocking horse broke— never learned how to ride. Grew up too quick, left the cradle behind. They lit the candles, but no one blew ‘em out. Ghosts in the windows, names we don’t talk about. [Pre-Chorus] Tick… tock… clocks don’t stop. Hands got bigger, but the world got small. Tick… tock… graves don’t talk. I hear ‘em whisper every night when I fall. [Chorus] They took my childhood, dressed it in black, buried it deep, never brought it back. Told me to run, but gave me no tracks. I was just a kid— ain’t no rewind on that. “La-da-da, la-da-da… what’s a kid to do?” [Verse] Dreams got teeth, they bite in my sleep. Granny said hush, but the wounds run deep. Painted a smile, puppet on a string. Every year older, felt less like me. [Pre-Chorus] Tick… tock… clocks don’t stop. Hands got bigger, but the world got small. Tick… tock… graves don’t talk. I hear ‘em whisper every night when I fall. [Chorus] They took my childhood, dressed it in black, buried it deep, never brought it back. Told me to run, but gave me no tracks. I was just a kid— ain’t no rewind on that. “They said, ‘You're strong now, stand up tall.’ But the echoes call, the echoes call… It ain't fair, it ain't fair at all…” They took my childhood, dressed it in black, buried it deep, never brought it back. Told me to run, but gave me no tracks. I was just a kid— ain’t no rewind on that. [Outro - Instrumental]
