Sick sick sick
They watch you closely
They love you mostly when they watch the time
Tick tock tick
They want you breathing on your own
If you could get up then they’d take you home
But that won’t do, there’s something wrong with you
Think think think
Do you remember?
It was last November on your birthday when they brought you in
Dot dot dot dash
V for victory
You flashed your hand
And threw your cake into the garbage can
Oh misery, there’s something wrong with me
Now they sit by your bed and they hide
From each other, by your side
With each other and play games
They don’t talk, they’d rather watch the clock
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Tick tac toe
No two turns in a row:
That’s cheating
X x o
You never win
But you want to play again
You’re the only reason that they spend this time together
Don’t be scared to share the news
Afraid to say you’ve made the trade for bells and whistles
No more thorns and thistles for you
No more crazy in the head, no more lying in your bed
Jump up high:
Let them know that you are happy
It’s okay to show them that you’re well
Celebrate
If they can’t take it they can go to hell
They watch you closely
They love you mostly when they watch the time
Tick tock tick
They want you breathing on your own
If you could get up then they’d take you home
But that won’t do, there’s something wrong with you
Think think think
Do you remember?
It was last November on your birthday when they brought you in
Dot dot dot dash

You flashed your hand
And threw your cake into the garbage can
Oh misery, there’s something wrong with me
Now they sit by your bed and they hide
From each other, by your side
