view eternity in a second of time

Leave a life and seal a fate

To make a choice and not look back

Let the world believe

but know the truth

We cannot begin to imagine to know

or pretend to understand

We still have to face the hours.

----------- Part 2

Defy the ages in a single breath

Challenge the fates with only words

Rewrite life as you go

Know yourself, but know others better

Tilt the scales

Adjust your destiny

Answer to no one, but always remember

We still have to face the hours.

------------------- Seul en Paris

Je suis seul in paris

in dark rooms blue smoke fills the air

jazz and vermouth flow like water

alone i sit in Paris

another sale martini passes my levres

the sounds around me are broken hearted

you catch me in your grey steel gaze

encompasing me like a delicious poison

are you like the sounds and the jazz?

are you the dark rooms with blue smoke?

or are you like me?

sitting alone in Paris
