What makes us tick
   Are we mentally sick
   Feeling inside that drive us like pride
   Or emotional scars from our friends that have died
   And 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
   Just what is it that makes us tick
