Amongst The Sleeping

By day
The land moves around us - we're driving
Some say
You only know where you're going - when you get there
I'm sure
The engine will hold out - I'm arrogant like that
We know
Nothing last's forever - that at least is mutual

By night
The land moves much quicker - we're racing
Some wait
And fall off the rails - consuming
You take
As if I'll keep on giving - I won't, I'm sorry to say
We know
Nothing happens suddenly - as all this aching proves
I wait
To avoid the crossfire - if only it worked like that

Surround sound makes waves interpreted by something beyond us
Can science ever contemplate the feelings that we all take for granted?
In surround sound, I've found, dreams, are not for the living
So come regress and find it's best to live, amongst the sleeping
