8 to 10

Heading into work today, my classic 8 to 5.

Going to my office job, just working to survive. 

I check my watch, ascend the floors, now it's 8 AM! 

I have to reach my goal today, before I reach the end.

I quickly rush into my box, as I begin to file, lots and lots of papers that stack over to a mile.

I'm only a few minutes in, when BANG! Something has happened.

We all get up and look straight down and see the smoke upsend.

All panicked, we start to flee and scramble every way. 

Some of us are crying and some are being brave.

Everyone starts to call, The smoke is getting thick

We looked for a way back down but it made us all feel sick

I hear the structure moaning, trying to support

The peoples cries and groaning as the building falls apart

I wish I had done more, for my family

But now it’s only God, the Devil and Me
