The clock ticks where no one stands
The floorboards bend with unseen hands
This dread is in my chest
It never lets me rest
The song begins inside the wall
It hums a note that's always small
The tune just came to me today
Like secrets that I cannot say
It knows the place where I hide
It waits and watches from the side
It starts before I close my eyes
It says my name, no one cries
The clock ticks where no one stands
The floorboards bend with unseen hands
This tune won't let me run
I'm sure it's just begun
The clock ticks where no one stands
The floorboards bend with unseen hands
This dread is in my chest
It never lets me rest
It knows the place where I hide
It waits and watches from the side
It starts before I close my eyes
It says my name, no one cries
The clock ticks where no one stands
The floorboards bend with unseen hands
This tune won't let me run
I'm sure it's just begun
The clock ticks where no one stands
The floorboards bend with unseen hands
This dread is in my chest
It never lets me rest
