Mar 2018
I wait at the quick mart, Scanning the street
And watch all the people going their way
I've seen them before but we never meet
And I'm sure tomorrow will be like today
None of them pause as they pass by the store
It seems like they're moving at Warp Factor Four

Saturday evening is always the same
My friends are at parties, or Cruising the mall
Do they make true connections or is it a game?
They're acting on Impulse, not caring at all
But how will I ever keep up or keep score?
When everyone's moving at Warp Factor Four

A girl passes by and I try to give chase
But she's moving so fast she Disintegrates
I try to make friends with someone I know
But I can't find a way to "Make It So!"
I can't settle for this, there's got to be more
But everything's moving at Warp Factor Four

They're not slowing down
I feel so Disrupted
I'm starting to frown
My resolve is corrupted
I take a chance and then
Lower my Shields
But I get run over when
Nobody yields

There's no stopping now, my path has been blazed
I may be despised but inside I'm Beaming
When shot with a glance I'm not even Phazed
I couldn't care less, I gave up on meaning
I've found the answer, I'm really alive
'Cause now I'm moving at Warp Factor Five
