Doomsday Clock

Lyrics

Is everyone afraid
Is everyone ashamed
They're running towards their holes
To find out
Apocalyptic means
Are lost among our dead
A message to our friends
To get out
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear
They're bound to kill us all
In whitewashed halls
Their jackals lick their paws
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This doomsday clock
Ticking in my heart
Not broken
I love life every day
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud
To find out
I'm certain of the end
It's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth
To get out
I'm guessing i'm born free
Silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This doomsday clock
Ticking in my heart
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine
All bug-eyed
If this is living
Sakes alive
Well then they can't win
No one survives
Is everyone afraid
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams
Mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that 'ol sun
To know all there is
Come on, last call
You should want it all
Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This doomsday clock
Ticking in my heart
These lonely days
When will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid
