Day by day
Week by week
Time moves faster
It never sleeps

Hour by hour
Minute by minute
We're all still sitting
We're all just wasting

Tick tock
The time goes on
Warnings from the clock
But we're all too lost

We're waiting to live
But it's actually to die
We don't know what we want
Until we're out of time
