Tick.
I'm no permanent fixture
Waiting for your perfect gesture
To sweep me up
You lack a sense urgency
And don't see the emergency
Of my restlessness
I am not something stationary
Standing here, but only momentary
I'm on my way out
You better take to your feet
'cause I'm not taking a backseat
To this passing day
There's no string on my finger
Boy, I will not long linger
On this fleeting moment
"Ready" is a lovely fairytale
And man, I'm running like hell
Down this paved road
Yesterday, it was all or nothing
Now, we're all waiting for something
That never comes
Damn, that grass is green
Better than I've ever seen
On this side of the hill
It's all an uphill battle
And we're herded like cattle
Into a beautiful lie
Well, I'll seize my moment
When it comes, I'll know it
I won't hesitate
Or simply wait
Until it's too late
Because this life is temporary
I don't believe in contemporary
Ideas of time and space
Tomorrow is so close I can feel
What makes today so real
Is that the minutes are passing…
Tick.
