Dusting off my lyric writing

So I haven't written much of anything in years. I find myself full time elsewhere. I was just dusting off some old writing and thought I might as well post my old lyrics. Some have fully written songs and some are fragments but here is one to kick off my new idea of just sharing my work wherever it happens to be. This one is from back around 2003.

The Road to Now

Ghosts, like mirrors, draw me nearer to the self that I am not
Somewhere on the road to now, all things changed I don’t know how
Days were clearer, nights were dearer, back before the towers fell
Now there is an empty space, something that I can’t erase

The landscape’s changing faster now
I can’t believe it’s true
This world was always upside down
I guess I never knew

Hosts like fears love your ears, like to feel you understand
Sometimes when I give fear space, nothing else feels out of place
But fear grows and always knows, just how to shun a warm embrace
It leaves me feeling vaguely lost, fear has such a heavy cost

The landscape’s changing faster now
Perhaps that’s really true
This world was always upside down
So tell me about you

The landscape’s changed forever now
Perhaps that’s really true
The world of now is all I know
So tell me about you
