Night's Ownership

Strip me into forward motion - no hang up's, no quirks no past circumstances to break concentration or weigh down my steps Break neck speed to future roads - no seat belts from old wrecks no long bruised esteems which stand at attention and stifle my breath Two turns 'round the world tonight -no shoes, no socks no walking at all We'll fly with our wings long hidden in silk Straight dives to the sea of green -no gear for scuba no holding our breath for the water will break us if we don't just give in Push me into moving forward -no stagnancy, no sorrow no excuses of tomorrow and somehow, on this day we break through all our walls Hold my hand in rhythm -no fear, no reasons no lost comprehension with only discovery that we own the night.
