ran through my fingers
With strong wind
Shoulds and Musts
rolled over the weakened
But-I-Want
Busy weeks let me feel
I haven’t lived my life
Servants count
my days, my hours
try to persuade me
you use your time
Too many impressions
no chance yet to assimilate
Too many impressions
ups and downs walk hand in hand
Too many impressions
neutralize each other
Nothing's left
except the feeling of emptiness
the emptiness of time
