Ticking of a clock. Alternative Rock

[Verse 1]
Glasses empty on the table
They catch the light like fading stars
Confetti clings to worn-out shoes
Unsure of just where we are
Laughter lingers in the corners
But it’s thin as morning mist

[Prechorus]
The clock ticks low
It never shouts
Just ticks the time we can't live out

[Chorus]
We toast the end
We cheer the start
But time slips past
It takes no part
A fragile hope
A fragile fear
The clock’s quiet tick: another New Year
Another happy Year

[Verse 2]
The mirror holds a shadowed face
Is it mine or someone new?
The seconds stretch like cobweb threads
Breaking as they pull us through
A spark of joy
A breath of doubt
Caught in the room’s soft glow.

[Chorus]
We toast the end
We cheer the start
But time slips past
It takes no part
A fragile hope
A fragile fear
The clock’s quiet tick: another New Year
Another happy Year

[Verse 3]
The chairs are stacked, the music hushed
A lonely beat against the floor
The promises we whispered then
Are scattered like the crumbs we pour
We gather up the broken things
And wait for the sun to call.

[Bridge]
Will we love harder?
Will we be kind?
Will we leave the hurt behind?
Will we learn the tune
Or miss the beat
As the days march on with steady feet?

[Chorus]
We toast the end
We cheer the start
But time slips past
It takes no part
A fragile hope
A fragile fear
The clock’s quiet tick: another New Year
Another happy Year
