Wayward Plane - Tick-A-Tick Time Lyrics

Wake up, what's that? it's a kitty
And she gotta be fed and she just won't wait
Thermos full of tea and I load up Twitter
Webcast's coming and I can't be late
That's life, it's strange but I dig it
It's a brand-new normal, it's the way I find
To keep me busy as the days pass by
And it gives me purpose and peace of mind
Days pass and the nights get longer
As my life gets shorter and I just don't know
If I got the time -- to get any stronger
Just might be my last rodeo
So I'll play another game, maybe watch a streamer
Anything to bring me a little bit of light
Tried giving up but I just gotta fight
I'm not giving in to the tick tick tick-a-tick time

Wake up, what's that? it's a rocket
Keys in my pocket -- headin' to the Cape
Chasing 'em to Port's my favorite sport
Watching 'em launch is my best escape
Some days I'm a busy little hobbit
Fighting the orcs, hear me roar
Some days I'm a wayward plane
Sit here and cheer as the rockets soar
That's life, it's mine, and I live it
The best I can with the tools I got
Deal with pain in my own sweet way
And I go insane when the days get hot
Fight for my life - it's not an expression
I lived too long, it's the price I pay
But a little bit of joy goes a long long way
As I fight each day and the tick tick tick-a-tick time

Who's that? It's me! Who cares
If I don't fit in to the mold you made?
Too damn loud to ever be quiet
Too damn old not to go my way
I won't give up, I won't stop trying
I won't stop laughing in the face of strife
I won't be calm, I won't be normal
I won't stop living the wayward life
Maybe I'm a little bit crazy
Maybe I'm a little too blue
Who cares? At least I'm living
One life that I know is true
One life - and I'm gonna live it up
One life - I'm not gonna give it up
One life - and I'll be just FINE
In the tick tick tick-a-tick tick tick tick-a-tick time
