The clock is ticking like the pigeons peck the stairs at the park
Your hands are shaking but you’re breaking from the crack in your heart
You ring your hands and straighten your gown
You pray to god that your parents sleep through the sound
There’s a nightlight screaming at you
The window’s open and the wind is rushing through
You set your eyes on the dark of the night
There’s a comet and it’s flame is burning bright
It’s getting late and he’s run-ning-out-of-time
A noise awakens and the dog next door lets it be known
Cacophony of barking takes a somewhat ominous tone
You brace your fingers and summon your might
Get on the floor and do your best to stay out of sight
The sound of pebbles break the threshold and make piles in your room
Another level hits the treble of your sonic boom
You steal your courage and your steal your pride
You steal your innocence when you accepted the ride
There’s a nightlight screaming at you
The window’s open and the wind is rushing through
You got a love and it’s way overdue
You got a poison burning deep inside of you
There’s a lick and it’s sticking like glue
Apothecary only you unlock the clue
You set your eyes on the dark of the night
There’s a comet and it’s flame is burning bright
It’s getting late and he’s run-ning-out-of-time
