Doomsday Clock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lose among our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There's wagers on this fear, ooh, so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear
They're bound to kill us all
In white-washed halls
Their jackals lick their paws
Please don't stop, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days, will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
Not broken
I love life every day in each and every way
Kafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end, it's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing that i'm born free, silly me
I was meant to be from my knees
Please don't stop, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days, will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days, will they ever stop?
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can't win
No one survives
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is
Come on
Last call
You should want it all
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days, will they ever stop
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days, will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?
