[Verse 1: Billy Graziadei and Evan Seinfeld]

What makes us tick

Are we mentally sick

Feelings 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

[Verse 2: Billy Graziadei and Evan Seinfeld]

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

[Outro: Billy Graziadei and Evan Seinfeld]

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?
