lyrics

Here's an inescapable truth
The future will hold the past subject
To time and bring the dirty proof
Into a light that others may inspect

It feels increasingly so the fact
That my past holds me captive
The dreams of all those in back
That disappeared fall inactive

The past becomes my present
So often I wish

Pages of penultimate phrasing
Saying what I thought I should say
Time spent halting and stumbling
Drifts and drives until it's far away

That's just how it's always been
You say like the dilemma is done
But the man out of this time has seen
Seconds pass differently under the sun

The past becomes my present
So often I wish
The past becomes my present
So often I wish
I could send it to the future far away

The moments that we spend in conflict
Are the times we are covered in noise
That pushes us in directions derelict
The discomfort of chaos naturally enjoys

Choose silence over the arguments
Of the ages if it serves no advances
Or purpose and perhaps prevents
Poisoning the futures best chances

The past becomes my present
So often I wish
I could send it to the future far away
