Description

I am a Vipassana meditator and existentialist. Daily meditation has helped me see that our attachments and egos create false narratives, and surrendering and letting go sometimes is the best path.

Lyrics

Tick Tock
Tick Tock

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Tick tock

As time ticks away, ticks away, ticks away
My heart beats a rhythm without time.
My dreams are distant, far away, far away
Hidden in the rhythm without time.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Softly the rhythm calls my name, calls my name
Echoing gently in my mind.
My heart to be free, wants my name, wants my name
Silenced in the rhythm without time.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Slowly the rhythm fades away, fades away
Quietly giving rest to my mind
Silence calms my heart, letting go, letting go
Giving peace in the rhythm without time

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.

Tick tock, tick tock
Goes the clock
A second.
A minute.
An hour.
A day.
