I Am Set In My Ways

When you set a clock time doesn't stop. The minutes are constantly passing, life steadily evolving, but I am set in my ways! Counting down the days, growing old and gray, wondering who shall take our place someday, but I am set in my ways. Spring ahead, fall back, sunny skies, molten rocks, winter and summer come and go just the same as rain and snow, but I am set in my ways! I often wonder why some people are caught in a tunnel, not living life, or feeling alive, but whose life is very hollow, but I am set in my ways. If you set a clock, time will keep moving. You can sit down your whole life, while your body is growing. You can set your mind to something and the world is constantly changing, but I am set in my ways! Mirror, mirror on my wall, I'm set this way, please do not fall For I am set in my ways.
