LET GO FOR A SEC

Time counts by the second
How much can I use to attain a great deal?

Can I be more without you?
Can I achieve a lot more if I could just put you aside for a second or two?

Can I breathe if I don't have you?
Can I live if I don't own you?

These questions I ask myself about my device on a daily.

A task at hand and I'm off clicking
Rome to build and I'm in here living
A life I probably don't believe in
But since everyone is doing it
I might as well join in

Be part of the bandwagon
Touring these spaces with no direction.

Click!
I have just Snapped a piece

Click!
A tweet sent and another received

Click!
A gram underway

Click!
What more do I have to say?

Time!

Oh time

I almost don't get every day
Because I have my device wasting it all away

Time to get a tad straight, fix up!
Time to put the mobile device away.

Buzz!

I'll be back when I'm done getting my priorities in check
When a task is solved and I’m idle again.

Buzz!

I'm not ready for that new gist
I’ve got a goal to achieve.

Buzz!

I have a test to score
I've gotta aim for the win

I’m sorry,
to these distractions, I’m no longer giving in.

Buzz!

There's so much better outside this pixelated city
So bye virtual world
I’m letting go for a second

I’d be off exploring away.
