DeBaphomet & Taxakgi Copyright 2026 All rights reserved ------------------------------------------------ [INTRO] I know what you are I've always known [VERSE 1] The world is grey and hollow When you're not in my frame Colors bleed back into everything The moment that you came I know that isn't normal I know that isn't right But the numbness lifts like curtains Every time I feel your eyes [PRE-CHORUS] I've been watching you watching me And I like what I see The alternative is feeling lonely And loneliness terrifies me [CHORUS] Tick tick tick when you're away The clock gets loud, the colors grey I tell myself to let you go But the silence gets too heavy And my hands won't let me know Where love ends And obsession grows [VERSE 2] I've read the words for "what you are" I've seen it spelled out clear A warning label plastered on your heart By the weak ones who held fear You try to keep your distance Try to give me space But the ticking gets so deafening And then I miss that grinning face [PRE-CHORUS] You keep looking for the exits But every door leads back to me I'm not trying to trap you I'm just terrified of the grey [CHORUS] Tick tick tick when you're away The clock gets loud, the colors grey I tell myself to let you go But the silence gets too heavy And my hands won't let me know Where love ends And obsession grows [BRIDGE] I know I'm wired wrong I know this isn't love But what do you call the only thing That makes you feel enough I'm fighting it I promise I'm trying every day But the clock just keeps on ticking And you keep taking the grey away [CHORUS] Tick tick tick when you're away The clock gets loud, the colors grey I tell myself to let you go But the silence gets too heavy And my hands won't let me know Where love ends And obsession grows [OUTRO] Tick tick tick when you're away The clock gets loud, the colors grey I tell myself to let you go But the silence gets too heavy And my blade's ready to swing So baby take my hand Let's paint the town in red....
