What Makes Us Tick

What makes us tick?
Are we mentally sick?

Feeling inside that drive us like pride
Or emotional scars from our friends that have died
What makes us build walls so incredibly high?

They exceed the ceiling from the terrified feelings
Which we often repress and end up depressed

Some vent it as rage, it's the fashion these days
In a twisted society, we drown in anxiety
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove?
Are we caught in a fit? What makes us tick?

Has man gone insane, are we feeling the strain?
We must dig and must pick at what makes us tick
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove?
Are we caught in the thick? What makes us tick?

Can you feel the pain that I feel?

No
So let me tell you about what is real
Go
The pain inside, it kills me, I cry
So
What is it that makes us tick?

Can you hear the cries that I cry?
Why?
Leave me alone, I'm ready to die
Die
For me I lie to myself
Just what is it that makes us tick?

Can you feel the pain that I feel?
No
So let me tell you about what is real
Go
The pain inside, it kills me, I cry
So
What is it that makes us tick?
