Tick Tock

𝑻𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝑻𝒐𝒄𝒌 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lyrics and Composition © 2026 Maris S. The world's my oyster, so they say But one good crack and it gives way To losing its most precious pearl Which is called freedom in this world And with it gone — no doubt of this The world stares into the abyss That's chaos and anarchy down below Simple as that, that's just how it goes A whisper here, a nudge as well To help you fall into that well So watch your step — I've greased the way To see you drop will make my day Tick tock, tick tock It's five to midnight for the livestock Tick tock, tick tock Do you hear the doomsday clock? Stand as tall as you can stand But gravity will end it all Then I will catch you in my hands I'll be your rock, I'll be your wall And answer every desperate call 'Cause the bigger they are, the harder they fall 'Cause the bigger they are, the harder they fall There was a time when crowns held sway And popes could make or break your fate There was a time when serfs obeyed And bowed or kneeled at palace gates But over time the pebble rose And with it freedom won the earth The path you walk on, that you chose Is where the abyss was given birth Four forces, and they never bend The laws that rule from start to end There's nuclear, both strong and weak Electromagnets make life peak And my favorite — gravity But there's a fifth one — And that is me Tick tock, tick tock You're waiting for the curtain call Tick tock, tick tock The church bell sounds its final toll Freedom is your highest good The one you value above all But that pursuit might just put Your back right up against the wall And lead you right into your fall And the bigger they are, the harder they fall And the bigger they are, the harder they fall So here I am, ready to shove And send you tumbling from above And now I ask, don't be afraid Proper order will be remade So don't you blame me, not one bit I just watched you walk to it Tick tock Tick tock Tick Tick tick tock
