Hindsight

The sun's dripping rays
Squinting to contortion
Molten upon his eyelids
The molehills of misfortune

Every question raised
To measure his attentions
He felt that he was God himself
A product of invention

No, no, no hindsight, no, no, no foresight
He's trapped in the blink, blink of silence
An instant flees our reason's eye
Always a step, a step, a step behind us

He found a trace of hope
Choked by information
He thought he made the world himself
But despised his own creation

No, no, no hindsight, no, no, no foresight
Posed at the brink, the brink of madness
He hears beneath our reason's voice
A truth we left, a truth we left behind us

He heard an angel say
"Your hope begins on Mars"
So, he fixed an iron gaze
And tried to melt the bars

He could shed his mask like skin
Or could walk through solid wall
But he didn't feel the need
So, he did not move at all

No, no, no hindsight, no, no, no foresight
He's trapped in the blink, blink of silence
An instant flees our reason's eye
Always a step, a step, a step behind us

No, no, no hindsight, no, no, no foresight
Posed at the brink, the brink of madness
He hears beneath our reason's voice
A truth we left, a truth we left behind us

No, no, no hindsight, no, no, no foresight
He's trapped in the blink, blink of silence
An instant flees our reason's eye
Always a step, a step, a step behind us
