The future is a lot shorter

Than I thought it would be

The past seems so far away

And the present non-existent.

I'm caught up in something strong

I couldn't tell you if it is reality

Or a fantasy built on my thoughts

But I can say it's not letting me go.

The farther I look back and reminisce

The more I see how much has passed

Without me saving or loving it at all.

The further I peer into the future

The more problems begin to overlap

Like lines forbidden to stay apart.

I can't look anywhere to see the present

It doesn't exist in front of my own eyes

There's no space between past and future.

I am caught between two different worlds

Two different worlds of the same person

And there's no other way to look at all

No way to look without seeing life or death.
