[Verse 1]
I wake up with an ache to be creative
But my time’s spent sittin’, waitin’
As I watch another day go to waste
I can’t just shrivel at this desk job
Restless til I get off
As I wish my effort wasn’t lost

[Pre-Chorus]
As I click, click, click, my clock is ticking
Sick, sick, sick of overthinking
And I can’t let a life’s regret start to settle in
So til I rip, rip, rip right through my throat
I’ll never quit, quit, quit, this shit ain’t over
Now’s the time to try it right and finally begin

[Chorus]
Cause I’m growing old tryna fit the fucking mold
Watching my youth get tangled in a noose
It’s getting old tryna follow what I’m told
When I’m afraid (I’m afraid)
I’ll see my time slip and wither away
Wither away

[Verse 2]
Oh tell me did you stifle all your promise?
Is your life all that you wanted?
Do you go through every day as who you’re not?
Cause I’ve known who I wanna be
Since I was fuckin’ seventeen
What happened? What happened to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
As I click, click, click, my clock is ticking
Sick, sick, sick of overthinking
And I can’t let a life’s regret start to settle in
So til I rip, rip, rip right through my throat
I’ll never quit, quit, quit, this shit ain’t over
Now’s the time to try it right and finally begin

[Chorus]
Cause I’m growing old tryna fit the fucking mold
Watching my youth get tangled in a noose
It’s getting old tryna follow what I’m told
When I’m afraid (I’m afraid)
I’ll see my time slip and wither away
Wither away

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro Chorus]
Cause I’m growing old tryna fit the fucking mold
Watching my youth get tangled in a noose
It’s getting old tryna follow what I’m told
When I’m afraid (I’m afraid)
I’ll see my time slip and wither away
Wither away (Wither away)
