One misstep now I’m missing time.
My sun just rose but I’m losing light?

That pie is  halfway done
and under baked,
I’m overwhelmed?
What’s the answer if I question myself?

The force that animates life only moves forward.
So, salute the skies like a kite, soldier.

Rest or unrest, it’s all entropy.
So, trust or don’t trust your own recipe.

A kept tongue is a slit throat
‘Cause your wisest thoughts are never spoken.

One misstep now I’m giving time.
The sun just rose but I closed my eyes.
