Writing on a Budget

I'm writing on my feet

I'm writing on a sheet

I'm writing on a budget

Feels like writing in a closet

Yeah, a budget of air

Limited oxygen's a dangerous affair

I scribble like the last seconds of a test

The words come tumbling out

Like bees from a nest

And then suddenly its over

My mind's been bared

It's like my closet's been aired

I breathe easy and I smile

I put my pen down and walk the last mile
