Late for work

LATE FOR WORK (E A D G B E)

 

My heart is ticking a clock. My chest is rising like the sea. My nails are biting like sharks. Hairs on my arms standing like trees.

I know you read me like a book. You don’t even need to look. I’m getting dizzy I’m so shook. Out the window watch me dance.

Could this be a chance to teach ourselves? If nobody else cares we might as well.

 

My mind is buzzing like a fridge. My ears are screaming like a siren. Colours draining from my face. My mouth is open but I’m silent.

And I am running towards the sun fifty percent of the time. I know, I know one day we will all fall from the sky.

I could cry I’m so happy for you. You’ve done all the things I could never do.

 

This is where the third verse should go. I haven’t written it yet though. Because I must be on my way to work and I’m already going to be late.
