Tick

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started out years ago Long before he ever fucking knew The mind slows brought on with age It breaks you down, it rips you to shreds Tired eyes, a broken man Thoughts blur with a fucked up head [Chorus] Dead tired he feels like a slave Constantly battling with his own head Loss of words you can't stand straight The sickness is spreading to his brain This hard working man A father, bread winner Stricken with his pain No cure for his disease [Verse 2] It's digging its way in It burrows like a tick Everyone around him sees it He thinks he's doing fine [Bridge] Mood swings control him now He screams, wishing he could die Mood swings control him now He screams, wishing he could die [Chorus] Violent outburst, he can barely stand This once strong man, is now a boy again [Outro] He now screams all day Every fucking night Kicking and screaming No cure in sight He lays and waits to die
