Ten, nine-eight, seven, Six-five, four, Three-two, one. Hopscotch. No one questioned. No one laughed or pouted. The rain washed away the colours, And we started again tomorrow.
Seven thirty, Seven thirty, Seven thirty, Seven thirty, And so on. We need answers. We need reasons. We are stuck in our tomorrows. Our present fades out fast.
We are locked up in our timers; Slaves to our master mints. Our souls are dying, With nowhere to hide And no one to seek them. Time does not stand still.
The chalk was our past time, The clock is our taker, And we play ourselves.
