Time

Tick tock, tick tock 

Time is all that's left

Tick tock, tick tock

Start counting down the days 

Of course what is there to count when you're just a truck

Tires rolling down the same pavement everyday

Music hanging in the echoes outside

Life to you is just a ride

Tick tock, tick tock

Imagine a man driving

He's on his way to pick his three children up while downing a bottle

He swerves into different lanes not noticing

After the kids are with him they buckle up and stay quiet

They've seen this episode before

It's just a repeat of last week

They don't dare say a word when the speed increases to 64 in a 25 speed area

Tick tock, tick tock 

The oldest often wonders how long this will continue for

How long until someone gets hurt

Tick tock, tick tock

Then it happens

A drop off the stereo remote 

The man reaches for it sending the truck up a hill

Screams are heard 

A pole not 12 feet away

The wheel was pushed 

The truck jerked back to the road

Tears ran down the eldests' face when her father screamed at her

Tick tock, tick tock

This was only an episode on replay

A new one will be aired next week
