Clockwork

Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
I wake up
open my eyes
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
I close them again
The sleep gradually dies
A dream fades in pain
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

The calendar,what year it says?
Two thousand fourteen
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Already?
A jolt, a mighty unseen
how have I been?
Oh, I hurdled through how many days?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

What am I doing here?
Where do I belong?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Just yesterday I was there
was running bare
with great fanfare
To where?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

And I am headed to?
Is it that far?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Do I have to march alone?
No?
I am with....you?
says who?
you?
who??
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick

How much...ummmm..time will it take?
Will I get a break, perhaps another take?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick
Will I, You sure, reach there?
exactly where?
you care?
What was that sound?
Am I bound?
Drowned?
Tick Tick.....Tick Tick....Tick...Tic...Ti.
