Who Knows

If you're quiet you can hear the world tick.
It chugs away through your life spent sitting
bored.

If you're quiet you can hear the world tick.
It's a clock with two hands, and
they're both exactly the same size, and
they only move when you look away.
So, we all wonder, what time is it?

If you're quiet you hear the world tick.
Hear it clack its tongue at you for searching.
It likes you to think its a stage, not a soldier.

If you're quiet you can hear the world click
like a bomb.
