[Verse]
I'm stuck between future, present, and past
To be astute is to relapse
My mental's out of control but fully boxed inside this glass
Across the horizon I can see meteors risin'
With the power of eons of living with fundamentals that seem so distant now
Show me how our chemistry ain't chiral
Ambidextrous in body and spirit, but at least we die old
And computers keep our minds alive
But what's the purpose
I wish time was amorphous, don't wanna mold it like playdoh
But it's a modern paradox of choice, mingled with the power of a pharaoh
[Chorus]
My mind is seeing clocks instead of seeing all the trees that surround me
I look into the mirror and I disappear (I disappear)
The cuckoo bird is calling and it dwеlls inside my mind constantly
I can see so far now but I'd rather stay near (closе to)
An obligation's comin' round the corner, I can it creep in me
Picasso perspectives, they fill me with some fear
Is it this time now?
[Verse]
The clocktower beckons from the center of campus
How can't you recognize that our obsession with punctual parameters puts us deeper into a collective
A linear injection
Cuz we're addicts to our own sense of product productivity
How can we possibly accomplish if you don't obey the same time as me?
That's why I'm here tryna be Salvador Dali with the stopwatches
Freein' minds through hotboxes
Ima speak through the heart
It's as sharp as a dart
So don't get self conscious
The flow ain't obnoxious
But I'm everywhere
I'm as rare as a baby panda bear
Stop and stare as I skip down the street to my own beat
Cuz I wake up every morning on my own two feet
With the confidence to admonish accomplishments
Ignore their pompousness
Ima jump right out of this labyrinth on the back of a Minotaur
Would you rather have a minute or a shooting star?
It's choices that speak in voices that prevent me from living presently
So Ima push them out of my periphery, but still
[Chorus]
My mind is seeing clocks instead of seeing all the trees that surround me
I look into the mirror and I disappear (disappear)
The cuckoo bird is calling and it dwells inside my mind constantly
I can see so far now but I'd rather stay near (close to)
An obligation's comin' round the corner, I can it creep in me
Picasso perspectives, they fill me with some fear
It must be time now
[Bridge]
I just wanna get my mind right
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I just wanna get my mind right
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I just wanna get my mind right
I'm just tryna get my mind right
I just wanna get my mind right
I'm just try..ahhh *inhale*
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it don't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, keep it locked down
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it don't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now

[Outro]
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it won't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now
My mind is seeing clocks instead of seeing all the trees that surround me
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it won't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now
I look in the mirror and I disappear
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, it don't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Keep it locked down, keep it locked down
It fills me with some fear
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it won't stop now
Tick tick tick tick and a tock now
Say it don't stop, it won't stop now
Tick tick, tick
