Get in line
With the times
Of the day
When it’s all coming down
Look around
Hear the sound
Of the waves
That’s stopping all around you
Now the sky’s
Changing color
And the air
Is a chill you can feel
Now the dark
Has embarked
And you know
That all of this is real
And you look at the clock
Did you do what you’re faced with?
At the end of the day
Was it time well worth wasted?
Common lies
And replies
Tell yourself
Later is a good excuse
Got the plan
Understand
Play the hand
Is something you refuse
Contemplate
Till it’s late
Procrastinate
And repeat the next day
And you stare
That dead glare
And the time
Has taken you away
And you look at the clock
Did you do what you’re faced with?
At the end of the day
Was it time well worth wasted?
The day is now done
Your resolve remained undaunted
Then the sun will rise
Is it what you always wanted?
