Past Tense

The words they spill into your head
Is an illusion
Yet still becomes tethered to you

I am a creature drawn in past tense
Experiences
The future me can now commence

You grew up with no one alike
You hold your woes so gratefully
And though they can't be justified
They've painted whom within resides

I am a creature drawn in past tense
Experiences
The future me can now commence

A drawing's not complete
Without the empty space
Between the strokes of ink
They're not a waste in fact
They show us what we've had
They show us what we've lacked
They show us what we've lacked

I am inside
A pearl who's extracted from grime
I am alive
For those who've come before my time

I am a creature drawn in past tense
Experiences
The future me can now commence

I am a creature drawn in past tense
Experiences
The future me can now commence

A drawing's not complete
Without the empty space
Between the strokes of ink
They're not a waste in fact
Sink into why you're sad
It shows us what we've had
It shows us what we've lacked
It shows us what we've lacked
It shows us what we've lacked
