The clock ticks by so slow, it just won't stop
It counts down to our day of doom, of gloom
So loud, any minute my head will pop
The flower is dying, blossom won't bloom

Must hide, must run, I must escape my fate
The rainbows and sunshine, so close, yet far
It's fading fast, don't let it be too late
The water's rising, can't get past the bar

Screaming, screaming, but, God!, they won't listen!
Just leave me alone, take the pressure off
Press the carbon, make the diamond glisten
Keep quiet now, they might hear you, don't cough

Stress, frustration and pain, I can't evade
Finished now, must lie in the grave I made
