beautiful song mate, love the lyrics and melody

your songs are always so beautiful and you are soundclouds poet!

not going to find much better than this my friend, truly outstanding and well done on such a piece of work

Excellent work,a beautiful piece 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's hard to find the right superlatives. For me, this is the way music should be: great melodies and inciteful lyrics. Nicely done!

says a lot in so few words,. theme all writers know

Had to have another couple of spins while on your cloud. Really great song.

Ever felt like life is passing you by?

You're just crossing off the days?

Ticking down the time?

Ticking

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog come down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.
