Deadline

The clock is ticking faster
Time is running out
Sweat is seeping out my pores
This is no time to pout

A promise is a promise
We've all heard it said
This adrenaline is killing me
I'm sure I'll soon be dead

Tonight I am restless
I cannot sleep
I have until tomorrow
This one rule, I cannot beat

Why did I give in?
Why did I say "yes"?
Now I am thinking
I may have settled for less

I know this needs to happen
It's the right thing to do
I still have this feeling inside
I wish I could explain to you

I'm sitting here
Thinking things over
Wondering how long it will take
For my mind to be sober

Whats done is done
I can't wait for the egg to hatch
I need to press on
I've got a deadline to catch
