about

I wrote this jam on banjo and I added in a constant ticking to give the feeling of the fear of inevitable time marching forward.

lyrics

You fear everything that you've ever known has been a lie.
Your husband doesn't love you and your wife won't even try.
Your grades in elementary, middle, high school didn't count.
And though they tell you you've tried your best. I hate to tell you you've tried your best, but you don't realize that your life is paramount.

And the clock's still ticking. Time is never on our side.
But you're still thinking about that time and it makes you want to die.
You've cried.

Don't wish you were dead unless you really want to die.
Because we don't know what happens next until we take the reins and try!
Steer yourself around you are the captain of your boat and
Floating on the choppy waters, raise yourself up, sail away on the fleet of hope.

Please don't hate yourself! You're more important than you think!
All life has a purpose even though ours is looking bleak.
There are more fish in the sea, someone will miss you when you're gone.
And you will not die alone, I promise, and you'll always have this song.

And the clock's still ticking. Time is never on our side.
But you're still thinking about that time and it makes you want to die.
You've cried.

Don't wish you were dead unless you really want to die.
Because we don't know what happens next until we take the reins and try!
Steer yourself around you are the captain of your boat and
Floating on the choppy waters, raise yourself up, sail away on the fleet of hope.

Don't wish you were dead unless you really want to die.
Because we don't know what happens next until we take the reins and try!
Steer yourself around you are the captain of your boat and
Floating on the choppy waters, raise yourself up, sail away on the fleet of hope.

And the clock's still ticking. Time is never on our side.
But you're still thinking about that time and it makes you want to die.

And the clock's still ticking. Time will NEVER be on our side.
But you're still thinking about that time and it makes you want to...
