Frantic tick tick tick tick tock

I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that i've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk goes hurry
"Frantic tick tick tick tick tock!" I've never listened to Metallica. Now I'm afraid to.

"Don't Trust Me" - 3OH!3

T-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girl's teeth

I said shush girl, shut your lips
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
