and my head is spinning (breathing too hard)
it's tick-tick-tick-ticking (breathing out of rhythm)
away at my soul, too slow (breathing too fast)
It's five-oh-one
and my soul is dying (what's going on?)
I wish I was flying (panicking, panicking, panicking)
away from the sounds on the wall (that clock is too fast)
and the sounds
that stop for no-one (am I moving too slow)
It's five-oh-five
and I'm slipping (falling, falling)
Out of time (out of body, out of mind)
I can't stop it (I'm scared, I'm scared)
those numbers on the wall (I think that I've lost control)
It's five-seventeen
and I'm trying (believe me I'm trying)
to pick myself up off the floor (get up get up get up)
the clock, won't stop ticking, (driving me mad)
my watch (I can't stop checking)
won't stop moving, (I can't run away)
that horrible monster,
called Time.
