Strobe

I feel dark eyes watching me
Who are you? No answers come
Silently ahead, she held a handgun
My finger in the steel muzzle
I said: You don't have the guts
Flash and noise crack air, she held a handgun

Lights flash and spin 'round
On and off, strobe lights
White lights, black shadows
On and off, blink away
Left no trace

Walk off away, Hollywood
The last scene
Shadows vanish before me, burn out
Enemies are closer than you think
Eyes wide scanning, found nothing
Found nobody
Worries vanish and just then, she came
Game over: Did not see me coming
Said to me

I showed my tears to the muzzle
Nothing else that I could try
Silently ahead, she held a handgun
Before I could say
Will you please just let me go?, she shot
Flash and noise crack air, she held a handgun

Lights flash and spin 'round
On and off, strobe lights
White lights black shadows
On and off, blink away
Left no trace

Laughing shadows, stare at me
Can't get away
Final pages of my novel now
Thought I knew how this would end finally
Eyes wide scanning, found nothing
Found nobody
Worries vanish and just then, she came
Game over: Did not see me coming
This is the end

I just want to know how to live so easy
What is the right way? The wrong way?
Let you live, or take you in, or shut you down
These thoughts form but don't stay

Ink blurs and words break
Black and white, seem fake
Lights flash and spin 'round
On and off, strobe lights
White lights black shadows
On and off blink away
Left no trace

Walk off away, Hollywood
The last scene
Shadows vanish before me, burn out
Enemies are closer than you think
Eyes wide scanning, found nothing
Found nobody
Worries vanish and just then, she came
Game over: Did not see me coming
Said to me
