---Verse 1---
I remember
We were blissfully growing
In an already burning world
We were sure that
There was somebody knowing
How to keep everything afloat
We are praying
For tomorrow
Half unsure if it's still ahead
And preparing
For the sorrow
We are holding each others' hands
Until the end
---Chorus---
That came
Earlier than we thought
Earlier than we could
Give up our nascent dreams
Wake up
Maybe it's all for naught
If only someone could
See the forest behind the trees
Tell me -
How much time left
Till the midnight?
Is there anything,
Anything,
Anything at all that we can do
To stop the clocks?
Tick-tock (4x)
---Verse 2---
I am using
Bright and colorful shields
To hide myself from the burning world
I'm abusing
Bright and colorful pills
To hide myself from the truths untold
We are smiling
In delusion
It's a dogma - we can't be sad
We are crying
In seclusion
We would rather stay in our bed
Until the end
---Chorus-
That came
Earlier than we thought
Earlier than we could
Give up our broken dreams
Wake up
We are caught in a hangman's knot
Tightens up every day we lose
Asphyxates us as we lose years
Tell me
Are you happy?
Are you content?
When the midnight comes
And it comes
Soon it comes
Tell me what you will do
What will you do?
---Bridge---
I will stay in my room
Watch the world
Where I live getting smaller and smaller
I'll smile
Confined in oblivion
Evaporating away
It's easier that way
To drown out the clocks as they knock
---Chorus---
Tick-tock
Embrace the approaching night
Sleep tight
We will see our dreams one more time.
Could this
Desperate lullaby
Be an attempt to try
To do anything
Anything
Anything
Now -
Tick-tock
(Are you happy?)
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
(Are you happy?)
Tick-tock
Tick-tock
(Is there anything else we could do?)
---Outro---
(Anything
Anything
Tick-tock
Tick-tock-tick-tock
Stop the clock
Are you happy, happy, happy - Tick-tock
Stop the clock
Are you happy, happy, happy - Tick-tock)
