Lyrics
The ticking of the clock
Is never heard until it stops
A troubled mind a loaded gun
My god what have you done
No
What was your purpose what was your goal
Will we ever really know
What sent you on the road you took
Something you read in the good book
No
No
The repercussions will be heard
Around the world everywhere
Your name it will go down in history
A stupid boy a wasted destiny
No
The bitter words the twisted rhetoric
Maybe now they will be kept in check
And all those others in your target’s sights
How can you even sleep at night
No
Six wasted lives and maybe more
The blame cannot be laid at just one door
Responsibility it must be shared
Do any of you even care
No
No
How do you begin to start again
Pick up the pieces and then what then
You know that there’s too much at stake
It’s time to learn from the mistakes
No
A twisted mind a twisted choice
That needs a gun to have a voice
No
No
Six wasted lives and maybe more
The blame cannot be laid at just one door
Responsibility it must be shared
If you’re gonna get anywhere
No
A troubled mind a loaded gun
My god what have you done
The ticking of the clock
Is never heard until it!
