Ticking Clock

My life is one big ticking clock-
The words in my head, just won't stop-
Interruptions, artistic illusions
Cluttering my peaceful mind-

Nothings certain-
Everythings a question-
Although people see-
They walk around half blind-

I'm not gonna ask you-
So please don't ask me-
The answer to the question-
Of life's uncertainties-
I'm trying to be kind-

My life's one big ticking clock-
The words in my head, just won't stop-

I run-
I pray-
I write-
I read-
I play-
Never knowing what cards will get dealt the next day-

Interruptions, artistic illusions-
Cluttering my peaceful mind-

Do you know how this will end?
I don't know the last words I'll say-
I only know I'm on my way-

My life's one big ticking clock-
The words in my head, just won't stop-
