"Metacognition" take 2 (in HD!)

METACOGNITION

It's close to midnight here, the autumn sky is clear
These suburban streets are wide and unfettered
We're playing back the night, dissecting every line
Noting hints to our existence
I've got a score to settle with borrowed days
They're betraying us our age
But I wouldn't have it any other way

While the city's in retreat
Her citizens asleep
We're wide awake as we'll ever be
A lifetime of disregard
Couldn't keep you from my heart
(My most resilient part)

Stay alert, don't blink, we're edging to the brink
Of clarity and recognition
Your subdued and brilliant words, resound amidst the whirl
Of noises vying for attention
I've got a score to settle with you tonight
How do you stay so bright
While everybody throws the fight?

I accept that all our plans, fall victim to the hand
Of a far more Sovereign command, still,
That our lives in this employ, would bring about such joy
We are bounded yet still free
