How much time do I have left? How many ticks from my heart in my chest ?

Are my batteries low? Is time running thin?
Or am I an Energizer bunny who's been riddled in sin?

I can't count the times I've wished it away
Suffering in pain trying to get through the day

Tortured in yesterday's pain, living in today's agony or is life like an onion layered and I live each day everyday always and forever.

Is that why like clockwork I feel everything from the past, present and fear for the future.

Are the cogs that turn just a test of time, can't live in the past so why's my mind in rewind?

I try to forget and live for today, now time is fast forwarding and it's slipping away!

Like clockwork, life works like a clock works.
Spin backwards to regret, spin forward to dream
Stay in the present to try to feel free.

Each day I wake like clockwork, would you like to know how this clock works ?
