Quickly

Handful of almonds from the jar upon my desktop
To stall my hunger just until I'm ready to stop
I know it's time to relocate to the dining hall
But this simple snack allows me to ignore the call
Just need to finish one more thing, or maybe I will do it all

Real quickly (Who needs lunch?)
Real quickly (I know I do)
Real quickly (Almost done)
In the end no one will have won

When it comes to the speed that we're all moving at
I wish I could be more like a cat
The passion is there, but they don't give a care
About being on time

When it comes to the speed that we're all moving at
I wish we could all be, more like cats
Are they deeply in the moment, or far away in space?
Either way they know it's not a race

I'm getting sick of making all of these to-do lists
I know we've got to get stuff done, I know we must persist
But I can't help but think of all the things we must have missed
And when I do, I gotta say, I get a little pissed
Why's it so hard for work and play to coexist, we move

Real quickly (It's never over)
Real quickly (It's not fair)
Real quickly (Keep on moving)
In the end, will we really care?
