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?
