“Founders of Time” Auramics Music Video Lyrics

Lyrics by Kristi Scarvelis Singer/Musician in the duo Auramics.

Tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock

The old clock
I’m looking for
This clock
In the cupboards
In the attic

I’m trying to find
The noise that makes the chime
I can’t find the chime anywhere

Time
Ticks on
Then chimes away
12 times
2 hands
The noise it makes
But who’s behind
Those clocks
Something creates

Madness and malaise
The cogs they turn
Madness and malaise
The clocks they turn

Tick tock
The cuckoo clock

When you
Notice why
You’re getting kind of low
The time
Goes in circles
With biorhythmic lows

Madness and malaise
The cogs they turn
Madness and malaise
The clocks they turn

When I hear the ringing
Reminds me of the time
When I hear the ringing
Reminds me of the time

Oh you said
The loon birds they pretend
Oh you said
We’d meet again my friend
