about

THE PAST IS NO PLACE FOR THE PRESENT

lyrics

IN CASE HE FORGOT
WAS HIS GREATEST FEAR
IN CASE HE LOST
THE THINGS HE HELD DEAR
A DESIGN TO REMEMBER
THERE, IN A MOMENT
IT WON’T WASH AWAY
FOREVER, PERMANENT
BUT THAT’S NOT HOW HE THINKS
AS HE TAKES THE STEP
TO EVERLASTING,
DEEP AND NARROW
CUTTING REGRET

A MAP OF THE PAST
LINES LIKE RIVERS
LANDMARKS OF HIGHLIGHTS
GIVE HIM THE SHIVERS
THE TATTOO REMINDS HIM
OF THE ROAD HE TOOK
THE MAP OF A JOURNEY
AWAY FROM THE BOOK.
HE TURNS AWAY
AND PULLS AT HIS SLEEVE
IT’S JUST HIGH ENOUGH
SO IT CAN’T BE SEEN

IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME

SOMETIMES HE SCRATCHES
AND MAKES IT BLEED
IT ONLY HEALS
A LITTLE HARDER TO READ
THE THINGS SOME PEOPLE LIVE WITH
YOU’D NEVER KNOW

DAYS ARE LONG
YEARS ARE FLEETING
MEMORIES STING
CALMLY EATING
THE PAST IS NO PLACE
FOR THE PRESENT
