I have always been the one
\nwhen trouble starts, to cut and run
\nI always know when a thing is done
\nI always know when the time has come<\/p>\n
So, what about this time?<\/p>\n
Why do I still linger here
\nWhere all I do is sweat and swear?
\nWhy have I made it my career
\nTo dress in guilt and live in fear?<\/p>\n
So, when is it my time?
\nIs this what I do with my time?<\/p>\n
Each time I begin to find my voice
\nI get distracted by these toys
\nWhere they exult, where they rejoice
\nI find a cage devoid of choice<\/p>\n
So, what the hell is time?
\nWhat, in Hell, is time?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
