The Broken Clock

Tick... Tick... Tick... Tock...
Life is a clock.
A clock that just won't keep time,
A clock that's inconsistent.
Life is a race against time,
A game against fate.

Tock... Tock... Tock... Tick...
It's a gear that just won't click.
A frenzy for power,
A scramble for affection.
Life is just another test,
A test for the best.

Tick... Tock... Tock... Tock...
Life is simply a clock.
A broken one,
A dead one.
Its pendulum is stuck,
Its hands staying still.

Tick... Tock... Tock... Tick...
The swing of the stick,
The motions begin.
The gears start turning,
Just like before.

Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock...
Life is a clock.
And just like a clock,
Life must go on.
