Soon it will be midnight

I kept spacing out

Kept getting swept away

My day left me weary

I have a long way to go

But I’m running in place

My feet won’t budge

Even though it’s late

I wanted to try

Head on my knees

I hate the entire world

Even if there’s no end to this maze

There’s hope

That’s there’s an end to this day

I will lie down in my bed and wait

When the minute and second hands overlap

The world holds it's breath for a moment

the havoc will come to a halt

And I might be set free.
