Stuck In The Past

(album: Mental Illness - 2017)

Stuck in the past
Like drawing rings around Saturn
A shadow was cast
But now it follows a pattern

I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
But you could
I had hopes, but the hopes all fell
Leveled with the smell of new wood

Stuck in the past
A planet only on paper
Guess I'm the last
A living memory of vapor

I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could
I had hopes, but that's just because
Hoping was a well
Where you stood

I had all this time while Houston dozed
Where I almost had a line composed
But the moment passed, the hatch is closed

Stuck in the past
Where I'll be pulling that lever
It happened so fast
And then it happens forever

I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could

Stuck in the past
Just drawing rings around Saturn
