Mother May I (Tic Toc)

(Album: F8 - 2020)

Tick tock, time is up
Tick tock, time is up

(I know you)
You're the one on the magazine covers and everyone loves ya
(Such a star)
You're the one everyone wants to be like, but no one can be

Mother, may I have a moment?
Feel I've come undone
Can you stop me from this spinning?
Nowhere left to run

Special's a term that they use to describe someone
When they're afraid to admit that they're right

(I see you)
You're the one that's in all of the movies, on everyone's TV
(Such a farce)
You're convinced that your shit doesn't stink and we all should adore you

Father, can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done

Death is a term that they use to describe something
They can't accept 'cause it comes with a price
Tick tock
Tick tock

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Father, can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done
