Sick sick sick
|
They watch you closely.
|
They love you mostly when they watch the time.
|
|
Tick tock tick
|
They want you breathing on your own.
|
If you could get up then they’d take you home,
|
but that won’t do, there’s something wrong with you.
|
|
Think think think
|
Do you remember?
|
It was last November on your birthday when they brought you in.
|
|
Dot dot dot dash
|
V for victory.
|
You flashed your hand
|
and threw your cake into the garbage can.
|
Oh misery, there’s something wrong with me.
|
|
Now they sit by your bed and they hide
|
from each other, by your side
|
with each other and play games.
|
They don’t talk, they’d rather watch the clock.
|
|
tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
|
|
Tick tac toe
|
no two turns in a row:
|
that’s cheating
|
|
x x o
|
You never win,
|
but you want to play again.
|
|
You’re the only reason that they spend this time together.
|
Don’t be scared to share the news.
|
Afraid to say you’ve made the trade for bells and whistles.
|
No more thorns and thistles for you.
|
No more crazy in the head, no more lying in your bed.
|
|
Jump up high:
|
let them know that you are happy.
|
It’s okay to show them that you’re well.
|
Celebrate,
|
if they can’t take it they can go to hell.
|
