daylight savings ended
and left me in the dark
from the moment i walk out of here
to get into my car
there's a window on the 7th floor
where i like to go
when the workload gets too heavy
or when it gets too slow
and i sit on top of a shred it box
from there i can see
all the shades of daylight
over all the dying trees
and it doesn't knock me out
doesn't leave me feeling "wow"
most days it's just like breathing
i barely notice now
but my heart is still beating
and my lungs are still breathing
and you wonder where i've been
when i don't show up for meetings
from the 7th story window
i am doing what i must
i am s**ing in the buildings
toner fumes and paperdust
it's a grey and clouded morning
it's a grey and clouded night
that frame the moments i've been working to afford
during the hours of
daylight savings ended
and left me in the dark
from the moment i walk out of here
to get into my car
