Energy

Energy
Alive in the wide dim
Alone in the calm hour
The owl takes to the wind
As the bell peels in the tower

Supposed to be making the most of a
Waking dream
Mind reels ahead of me
Can't feel the energy

A drive through the unknown
Arrive late for the party
With shirt button unsewn
And meal already starting

Controls are increasing their stranglehold
Ceaselessly
Time steals ahead of me
Can't feel the energy

Over, under, longer, farther
Lower, higher, faster and harder
Smaller, greater, ending never
Sooner, later, better and better
Over, under, longer, farther
Lower, higher, faster and harder
Smaller, greater, ending never

A mystery unsolved
A crime they got away with
A rescuer uncalled
A tormenter left to stay with

Controls are increasing their stranglehold
Ceaselessly
Until they fell on me
Still had the energy
Supposed to be making the most of a
Waking dream
Mind reels instead of me
Can't feel the energy
