I

There’s a house on fire,
But we won’t call 911.
We’ll let it burn away,
“Soon enough, it will be done!”

Our neighbors are in danger,
But they can fend for themselves.
“Everything is perfectly fine!”

It seems that time and my motives 
Are completely out of sync
That they don’t like each other
Or that is what I think

For when I’m high on motivation
I’m running out of time
And when all that must be done, is done

They say the wind carries souls,
That’s what they say.
And if I were to believe them,
today would be the day.

The wind brought me voices,
Of people of the past,
And those of people whose lives
Will not much longer last.
