INTERROGATION
This is an interrogation
And you’re on the wrong side of the desk
Suddenly you feel the weight
Of every word that’s ever slipped your tongue
Each mistake you’ve ever made
Builds a world on your back
All that you see in this room
Reminds you you are here and
There’s no way to escape
What’s been done is done
A dull voice on the airwaves
Awoke you from a stranger’s pillow
Smell the trail of guilt; you’re a paranoid wreck
When the smokescreen starts to clear
Now it’s harder to walk
Looking over your shoulder
All that you see in this room
Reminds you you are here and
There’s no way to escape
What’s been done is done
It may not amount to much
But it seems like more than enough
You might only live once
But it feels like more than enough
Every eye you read strips you bare
Just as if your soul had been exposed
Every footstep strikes closer behind
Ever so close

CHINATOWN GATES
I walked across this city
Alive with flashbacks from east to west
Main Street glowed with Christmas lights
Shimmering through a blizzard
As a century stood still
My life rang like a countdown
Misused days and glorious nights with friends
Lovers and in-betweens come back
Some things only make sense when you know it’s the last time
Thinking of you past Chinatown Gates
Wide-eyed with a smile on my face
I stumbled through Sun-Yat-Sen Square
My head full of wishful thinking
A past I just tried to rewrite
Is it the alcohol speaking
Or am I way too sane for my own good
Misused days and glorious nights
Wasted clinging to the wrong dreams
Some things only make sense when you know it’s too late
Thinking of you past Chinatown Gates
Screaming your name in my head
Facing the world with my heart on edge
Could it all mean something new now?
Thinking of you (…) my heart on edge
And as the snow kept falling
My spirits sank and rose again
Back home, old songs playing on
I watched a thousand years wind down live
And I thought of everything
That came before, that’s coming soon
And the world got up on the same old land
One time zone at the time
But I only wished we were in the same one
That your soul was here,
Right now,
Now………..

NIGHT REVERIE
Between the stars above
And the garden below
My feet firmly grounded
My head wandering off
I surrender myself
To thoughts from the unknown
Vast as space and imagination
Beyond sight and sound
Beyond Earth’s cocoon
Streaming from an ocean of green and blue
In this Nocturnal reverie
Staring at infinity
I’ll follow my still body
To another reality
Stretching itself
To life from the unknown
Beneath my feet, up in the Milky Way
Between shadow and light
Beyond earth’s cocoon
From the microscopically small
To the telescopically big
Where everything travels at the speed of light
I’m ready to land back home

End Of A Decade

END OF A DECADE
It's something I can feel in the air
Nothing visible but it's there
Cars got small, life runs fast
For the fashionably bored
There's an edge to all I see
I can't quite define it just yet
If it's on everyone's mind
That makes it real
Give old ideas new names
Write rules on the fly
In this end of a decade
New nations on the rise, recycle your maps
We'll need new books tomorrow
Writing's out, action's in
One thing at the time is dead
Stop living life in sepia
Just be within reach at all times
Privacy is a thing of the past
Don't we get our kicks
Act first, think later
The future is televised
In this end of a decade
An angry young man is on his way
He just crossed the bridge into town
Remains of the dreams that the city has sown
Flash before his eyes
Time to change the Guard
Tonight is the night he'll remember
Next end of a decade
Come to me, we'll be friends for hours
Come to me, we'll be friends for hours

A Note On The Table

A NOTE ON THE TABLE
The twilight sun’s sinking down
Slowly fading behind the see-through drapes
Dusk moves your shadow
While you’re still as a corpse
Eyes are red from all those bitter pills
Moods spin on dimes
Guilt cut my spine
Before one of us
Leaves a note on the table
There might be one last song, one last silence
See murder in your eyes but I can’t die again
I knew all along, yet I wished I was wrong
Sinking low, we’ve outlived the high
Too strained to sleep but it’s too late to go home
Nerves are on edge knives are out
You can’t be one so you hurt apart
No sideshow or fight it’s all been cried for inside
No secrets left
The jukebox will do the rest
Before one of us
Leaves a note on the table
There might be one last song, one last silence
See murder in your eyes but I can’t die again
I knew all along, yet I wished I was wrong
