Shifting floors, shifting walls, night shift shadow

Lonely bird, echo tweet, crisp cold air blow

Dairy truck a little early, driver seems squirrelly

Rubbing my eyes, breaks over, head in, hurry

Circadian rhythm flipped

Pay differential ain’t cutting it

The machine needs to hum, who’s the grease?

Many hands make light work of these

Circadian rhythm flipped

Pay differential ain’t cutting it

The machine needs to run, who’s the power?

Many heads together think thoughts for hours

I’ve seen the cycles run on different times

I’ve noticed how our paths barely collide

Don’t do this mess because of stress, all right?

Just promise this, you’ll do your best to be alright

Radiant diadem of thoughts thought plenty

Pent up emotion squirms out when ready

I don’t disbelieve I don’t know, it’s not that heavy

My art is my venting, inventing new technique

Circadian rhythm flipped

Pay differential ain’t cutting it

The machine needs to run, who’s the power?

Many heads together think thoughts for hours

Serrated edges make a point of it breaking

Indicating where to cut for the time of taking

Clean edge rip if you’re ready to be patient

Don’t feel guilty if the pieces need mending

We all need the time to take time to care

Half focused reflection, staring at the mirror

When was the last time I cut my beard?

Are we already this far into the new year?

Circadian rhythm flipped

Pay differential ain’t cutting it

The machine needs to run, who’s the power?

Many heads together think thoughts for hours

The power of dreams cannot be understated

Spanning millennia, they guided and abated

Sometimes they’re portents to be contemplated

Other times it’s the only levity I feel til awakened

Many heads together think, think, think, think—

Many hands make light work of these

Circadian rhythm flipped

Pay differential ain’t cutting it

The machine gorges on harvested wonder

Many dreamers dream of a new hope discovered
