Every second counts (modelled after Mr Self Destruct by NIN)

V1

It hurts and I am not sure why (every second counts)

For me it’s just another sign (every second counts)

She tells me go and get it checked (every second counts)

I know she’s right and don’t protest (every second counts)

I never know what’s there to know

Time flies cause every moment goes

I get pulled down and then back up

Every second counts

V2

Talk to work and get time off (every second counts)

It should be done by I can’t stop (everyone second counts)

Clock running, bells are in my ears (every second counts)

I will always hide my fears (every second counts)

I never know what’s there to know

Time flies cause every moment goes

I get pulled down and then back up

Every second counts

Bridge / v3

Just when I think I’ve had my share (it’s never-ending)

Just when I think I’ve had my share (it’s never-ending)

Just when I think I’ve had my share (it’s never-ending)

Just when I think I’ve had my share (it’s never-ending)

V3

It will be fine and I’ll be back

It’s just that I don’t want the sack

Certain he was – ninety percent

The darkness called for my descent

V4

Come back tomorrow check the spread (every second counts)

I wait with mask and full of dread (every second counts)

Blood taken, stand by the machine (every second counts)

Feels like the end or so it seems (every second counts)

I never know what’s there to know

Time flies cause every moment goes

I get pulled down and then back up

Every second counts
