seven minutes from seven minutes ago
why are they important
how the hell do I know
but somehow they were
of that I am sure

seconds steal away as seconds always do
they seem so insufficient
they hold no consequence to you
as if they are transparent
but when they're gone they become apparent

time is ruled and ruler still
guiding me and blinding me
with the moments I cant fulfill
they're the ones I really need but never get to keep

now seven minutes have come to pass
as more important than the last
tho you can never swear it and to declare it
will only make you laugh

I think I rule over time I just don't rule mine
I just mark it as it goes past
as seven minutes of time
