Tick Tock

female vocal, piano, bass, acid jazz, nu jazz, drum brush

(Chorus)
Tick-tock, there goes another minute,
Tick-tock, and I’m still not in it,
Tick-tock, life is slippin’ by,
But I can’t stop the scrolling, I don’t even try.
Tick-tock, as the dread starts to rise,
Tick-tock, in the blink of my eyes,
Tick-tock, just a cycle I can’t break,
Tick-tock, drink to distract, then repeat the mistake.

(Verse 2)
Tick-tock, dishes pile high,
But I avoid them with another lie,
I’ll get to it soon, I say in my head,
But I’m trapped in this loop, filled with dread.
Tick-tock, it’s another round,
Of avoiding, evading, my thoughts spinning 'round,
Procrastination’s my closest friend,
But I know deep down it’ll be my end.

(Bridge)
Tick-tock, the hours are gone,
Tick-tock, but the pressure’s on,
Tick-tock, I should be moving ahead,
But I’m stuck in this loop, just fillin' with dread.
Tick-tock, there’s so much to do,
But the more I avoid, the less I push through,
Tick-tock, time is slipping away,
Tick-tock, and I’ve wasted another day.

(Outro)
Tick-tock, the end is near,
Tick-tock, but I can’t shift gear,
Tick-tock, just another day lost,
Tick-tock, paying procrastination’s cost.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

(Verse 1) Tick-tock, the clock’s runnin' down, Gotta get to work, but I just lounge around, Got a list, it’s long as the day, But I’d rather scroll my life away. Tick-tock, I’m lost in a trance, Videos clickin’, won’t give life a chance, Every swipe, I fall deeper down, But the weight in my chest just keeps draggin’ me down. (Chorus) Tick-tock, there goes another minute, Tick-tock, and I’m still not in it, Tick-tock, life is slippin’ by, But I can’t stop the scrolling, I don’t even try. Tick-tock, as the dread starts to rise, Tick-tock, in the blink of my eyes, Tick-tock, just a cycle I can’t break, Tick-tock, drink to distract, then repeat the mistake.
