Fluorescent midnight in a concrete maze Glass reflections wearing borrowed faces An elevator opens An elevator closes And somehow I’ve forgotten where it goes A woman asks me something Or maybe she just smiled Her face dissolves before I can decide I follow signs I follow shadows I follow anything that feels familiar For a while Maybe it’s the airport Maybe it’s a dream Maybe it’s the same hallway Repeating endlessly And my heart beats faster Than the clocks can run Night becomes morning Then the daylight’s gone Everybody passes Like they’re made of smoke And I’m still trying to remember Who I was A moment ago Parking garages stretching into nowhere Steel and glass and endless empty air I think I found the exit I think I found the street But now the sun is shining where the moon should be People moving toward me Like rivers going wrong Their mouths are moving But I cannot hear the song I start to run The world slows down Like somebody poured honey into time My legs are moving My lungs are burning But somehow nothing changes And my heart beats faster Than the clocks can run Night becomes morning Then the daylight’s gone Everybody passes Like they’re made of smoke And I’m still trying to remember Who I was A moment ago There’s a young man in the distance Standing by a moving train Every time I almost reach him He disappears again Sometimes I think he’s looking for me Sometimes I think he’s me Sometimes I think I’ve always known him Sometimes I’ve never seen him Wait… What city is this? Why can’t I read the signs? Why do I know this building? Why does it feel like mine? Who took the hours? Where did they go? Why does everybody know where they’re going? Run Stop Breathe Turn Run Stop Breathe Turn Now I’m outside among the towers Grey against a silver sky I watch myself reflected in a window And for a second It’s another pair of eyes A man my age A stranger’s face Then suddenly it’s me again I touch the glass The image shatters Into traffic, clouds and rain And my heart beats faster Than the clocks can run Night becomes morning Then the daylight’s gone Everybody passes Like they’re made of smoke And I’m still trying to remember Who I was A moment ago And somewhere near the airport Or somewhere far away I keep walking through the labyrinth Of another shifting day The signs keep changing The faces fade The tunnels stretch beyond the light A door opens A door closes And somewhere Someone calls my name … I think.
