tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick Of the countless things we have tried This is the one thing keeping me that fraction more focused. No matter what subject, I have to wind it up and listen to it tick away. Just a kitchen timer and a million different emotions. On one hand, it sets the tone for the study session. On the other, it signifies that there are hours ahead of just sitting and struggling. I am not ready to give up, but I want to I really really want to. At this time in my life, it wasn’t necessarily dark, It was just kind of empty. The endless cycle homework, sleep, school Rinse and repeat. In some ways my daily life is still like this, But it was quite tedious, Especially for a 7th grader. When I heard the first few seconds of this song, I was captivated. I felt understood. The same tick tick ticking became something more Maybe not something beautiful, but something emotional. A line that especially moved me was, “Feel like I’m drowning from the sound Of all the silence all around” The lack of anything except that ticking became near torturous over time Driving me a sliver more insane every time it sounded.
