Mending Fences

mending fences
while throwing wrenches
into well-oiled machines
driving horses
down well-traveled courses
never gets you what need

and I don't know when everything became impossible
don't know when everything became an obstacle
maybe I just ran out of steam
maybe I just woke up from a long long
dream

and how can anyone not look about them
and not feel the world come crashing down
the strange sensation of shaking foundations
is driving us underground

and I don't know when everything became impossible
don't know when everything became an obstacle
maybe I just ran out of steam
or maybe I just woke up from a long long dream

we've come untethered
we've come undone
but still we march to battle
flags held high
we're always fighting wars
that can't be won
but we've stopped asking why

and I don't know when everything became impossible
don't know when everything became an obstacle
maybe I just ran out of steam
maybe I just woke up from a long long dream
or maybe I am trapped inside a long long dream
