From our mortal flesh
Throughout endless space
The thoughts of human kind
have spun an endless web
Clutching to the past
When striving for tomorrow
Never stop in the now
Never really here

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

History formed by the words we create
Memories of lives lost in time
Written in ink so they don't fade away
To build what is not from the gone

Memories blast
From the past
Like burried cries
Of distant lies

Future uncertain - predicted and dreamed
Based on the legacy lost
Planned out and drawn so it wouldn't go wrong
So clearly it almost feels real

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

A dreamy gaze
Into future days
Reality strikes
When tenses collide

From our mortal flesh
Throughout endless space
When in eternity
So insignificant are we

Trapped in the now
Wanting what was and what will be
Trapped in the now
Craving for moments unreal

Present is the state of all life
But the human mind is torn
Between the past and the future
A lonely traveller
The unparticled matter
