Lyric

The ticking hands

Retrace the past

Unspoken words

Dreams we let collapse

Your touch still warm

Like yesterday in dreams you smile

Then fade away

Tick tock It never stops

The time we lost it never drops

Your name it echoes endlessly

A haunting hymn inside of me

Beyond the second

Hand’s cold trace

I reach for warmth

Time can’t replace

That fleeting moment

Out of grasp still

My heart cries out

Still clasps memories locked

Behind closed doors

Your silence tore

Through all we swore

You turned away

No tears no sound

I stood unable

To protect or ground

Regret a burden

Words can’t cleanse And now

Repentance finds no end

One more chance

Just one last try

To hold the breath

We let slip by

But time unyielding

Won’t rewind

No mercy in its forward line

The clock moves on

Through dark and light

Each turn of time

Cuts deep despite

Don’t worry

You said soft untrue

A lie so kind

It bruised me too

If time were a river

I’d swim upstream

Chasing echoes of

Our fractured dream

But all that’s left is muted air

And memories too sharp to bear

If I could turn the reel again

I’d hold you close

Before the end

Instead of goodbye I’d say stay

And never let you drift away

Tick tock tick tock

The silence grows loud

This fleeting world

This transient shroud
