Analysis of Lost Souls
Saudia Danih 1993 (Zamboanga Sibugay)
Tick tock tick tock
There are those who are wide awake in the middle of the night
Tick tock tick tock
Those whose thoughts walk through the groves
Tick tock tick tock
The lies beneath the lines of faking smiles
Tick tock tick tock
The night is over...
there is no life—
