Because I’ve just been lying to myself
Don’t respect my own health
Living life everyday
In a vain pursuit of wealth
Because the lies are only skin deep
What you sow you shall reap
Respect for yourself
Slowly bleeds, slowly seeps
Window to the world
My toys I hurl
Out of the pram
Angry so I yell
Respect yourself
Respect your health
Can’t live your life
Under somebody else’s wealth
Strap up
Fix up
Look sharp
They will shut up
Show up
Throw up
Be present
Be into life
Be into heaven
Leave the heathens
They will prosper alone
Life’s for weaving
In and out of the next trap
Strap up
Fix up
Look sharp
They will shut up

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.
