Feeling Redundant
(专辑: Time Waits For No Slave - 2009)
The
past drags behind us like a
dead weight Prone for the
large part, yet piling on the
guilt Bullying, rebuking, lest we re-imagine Because by moving in the
here and the
now, It has become ingrained as given Directionless, transparent, brittle beings that we are But consider this: Those who can't escape the
past Are condemned to repeat it. They place us in a
losing battle But will we die for any flag? I
don't think so. Quietly unwilling, escorted... There is little of our choosing. Disorientated by the
noise of custom It dissipates the
present and the
future unbalanced, Excluded for envisioning a
new space. Those who can't escape the
past Are condemned to repeat it The
past gives us oversight But we have nothing if it is rehashed Are we so stupefied That we've run out of steam? The
past can keep us blissfully ignorant Away from a
plunge Into the
(exhilarating) virgin unknown Are we so fucking drained, that we've run out of steam? Are we so stupefied, that we've run out of steam? The
past drags behind us like a
dead weight It has become ingrained as given Directionless, transparent, Brittle beings that we are They place us in a
losing battle It dissipates the
present and the
future Directionless, transparent, Brittle beings that we are But consider this: Those who can't escape the
past Are condemned to repeat it.
