What makes us tick?
Are we mentally sick?
Feeling inside that drive us like pride
Or emotional scars from our friends that have died
What make us build walls so incredible high?
They exceed the ceiling from the terrified feelings
Which we often repress and end up depressed

Some vent it as rage, it's the fashion these days
In a twisted society, we drown in anxiety
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove
Are we caught in a fit, what makes us tick
Has man gone insane, are we feeling the strain
We must dig and must pick at what makes us tick
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove?
Are we caught in the thick as to what makes us tick?

Can you feel the pain that I feel?
No!
So let me tell you about what is real
Go!
The pain inside, it kills me, I cry
So!
What is it that makes us tick?

Can you hear the cries that I cry?
Why!
Leave me alone, I'm ready to die
Die!
For me I lie to myself I deny
Just!
What is it that makes us tick

Can you feel the pain that I feel?
No!
So let me tell you about what is real
Go!
The pain inside, it kills me, I cry
So!
What is it that makes us tick?
