Worlds apart
The same old scene
Streets are dark
Thoughts are mean
Live the life
Steal the light
Look around
The time is tight
Step outside reality
Test your limit twice
Imagination take ride
Test your little life

Forging ahead
To a new tomorrow
The future is bright
Remember the words of the crow
Who do you trust
When tomorrow is over
The lights are all out
The dawn proved false
Look deep within
Every man is an island
The answer is there
Or it's not, it's just absurd
Your word is not god
And god is not the word

I'm holed up in some flash hotel
A long, long way from home
Hermetically sealed with my bathrobe and my TV
So much anticipation and then the letdown
You live but you don't learn
I wandered down to the concert
The glitter and the lights
Two types of nostalgia, three forms of regret
But like a phantom limb, I see you in mind
Eyes closed, your silky voice
But your perfume is missing
I really wish that you were here tonight
Back in the hotel room
Staring in the endless mirror
The fracturing of the TV light, the toxic loop
And the endless restlessness
I really wish that you were here tonight

The lost and lonely are out tonight
Faces down unearthly light
Feel so close but oh so far
Sacred selfie a selfie star
The music plays the band is hot
Dancers drawn to move and seek what they are not
Hungry yearning for something else
Someone somewhere to ring the bell
Hitch your wagon to a star
Pay the price to play your part

We walked along the river
Beneath the old footbridge
Through the long grass
Our shoes were soaked
The water almost viscous
Close to ice, as black as ice
Foggy breath
And through the mist
A white bird stands alert
Attuned in time and out
It's quiet
And peaceful and undisturbed
