zenosyne- the sense that time keeps going faster

the clocks ticks don't change
the length of hours and days
each second measured
the calendar keeping count

but was it not last night we talked
today i learn it's been two days
was it not a year ago when we were together
yesterday the calendar said it's been three

when did the minutes start to feel shorter
when did time start to speed up
last week felt like yesterday
and tomorrow is coming too soon

a second ago it was morning
now i'm already in bed
they say live in the present
but i'm not sure when that is

it doesn't seem to slow
never a chance to watch the world
the zenosyne that i feel everyday
the feeling covering me until i just wait
for time to finally
stop
