The Candle

I
gotta
move this
candle is waxed

look at the time
no time to relax

calender calling

tell me my day

tells me I'm late

and when to
go play
would
it
be
cool
if I took a break?
could use a vaca'
if nothing's at stake
why would you ask?

you're already late

you wanna be poor

or wanna be paid?

then what is my task?

how long will it last?

my body's insane

and my mind
feels the same

I know the date

the minute of the hour
but what if I don't? then I have the power

Back to the start, his hands will unwind

time with no meaning, no reason or rhyme
cause his clock is internal and turning inside

it's randomly clever, all-knowing and wise
he tells when he's ready, but not from a tick, his body will talk to the clock from within
