Marking Time

Liner Notes

I'm struggling with time right now.
I can hyper focus on hobbies, but have trouble tuning into any physical needs. I'm thankful for my dogs who interrupt me when they need things.
Linear time makes no sense to me. These lyrics wrestle with the way I feel expected to observe time and the ways that I can actually conceptualize it.
Music is coming.

Lyrics

Days whirl by
Can't keep up
Can't keep sitting down
Weeks and months
But I'm on the ground
And I'm falling down
Where's that tick
Coming from
Waving arms and a
White baton

Marking time
I still wonder why
I still wonder why
Marking time
As it spirals
Winds downs the
Rabbit holes
Nowhere
I wouldn't go
But there's still
Everyone
Marking time

One more tick
One more tock
Shut up the clock
Will it never stop?
Wasted clicks
I'm a flop
I'm unwound, I'm stopped
Winding paths and a
Gate that's locked

Marking time
I still wonder why
I still wonder why
As it spirals
Winds down
The rabbit holes
Nowhere I wouldn't go
But there's still
Everyone
Marking time

Can't you set me on my feet?
Wind me up to keep the beat?
Hoist me up to join the fleet?
It's the only way to be
And people see

Marking time
I still wonder why
I still wonder why
As it spirals
Winds down
The rabbit holes
Nowhere I wouldn't go
But there's still
Everyone
Marking time
