All This Useless Energy

Darkness holds
 Begging me to lose control
 We wrestle it back and forth 'til urban silence
 Cuts through night
 With a scalpel for the light
 That bleeds through the margins
 And leaves me semi-conscious.
 I haven't found the rhythm yet
 To anchor down my life.
 I didn't know I needed one
 To hold me through the night.
 ♪
 Ain't it great,
 Smashing through the interstate
 Where we guess the futures of
 Our concurrent strangers?
 They're on their way to the doctor or to raise
 Grandkids of young twenty-somethings
 And teenagers.
 I'm worried of abandoning
 The joys that framed my life
 But all this useless energy
 Won't hold me through the night.
 Oh please,
 You're not fooling anyone
 When you say you tried your best
 'Cause you can't be your best anything
 When you can't get any rest.

 I'm worried of abandoning

 But all this useless energy
 Won't hold me through the night.
 Won't hold me through the night.
 Won't hold me through
 Won't hold me through the night.
