…<She chokes up water>…



[Screaming]
Tired
[Fearful]
Child


The click, clack
Tick-tock
How long can you keep it down?
Click, clack
Tick-tock
How far can you go around?


Bend backwards
Upstairs
Down the hall
RISE UP
Stay late
Can’t wait ‘til they can fall
Cold nights {miserable}
Long sighs {miserable}
But you know what they
Encourage, don’t you?


Then there’s the
Click, clack
Tick-tock
How long can you keep it down?
Click, clack
Tick-tock
How can they still come around?


Pretty lights
Dizzy head
Faint, faint dead away
Foolish girl, silly girl
You can’t come out
Not today

Tick-tock
When do you crack?
Click, clack
When do you snap?
