Future-Past

It was always on the back of my mind
So close to foreground when with that your brain is lined
Like a bullet hitting right between the eyes
Like a straight-jacket if you don't sever the ties

The future-past, has the future passed?
The future-past, has the future passed?

It was always on the front of the page
So close to background as the words deepen with age
Like, a shadowed figure breathing in my rear-view mirror
A, delicate whisper screaming nothings in my ear

Until the future's past, has the future passed (me by)
The future-past, has the future passed (me by)
The future-past, has the future passed (me by)
The future-past, has the future passed (me by)

If the past is your only future, the game is lost before the cards are dealt
If the past is your only future, the game is lost before the pride's been felt
If the past is your only future, the game is lost before the wheel's spun
If the past is your only future, the war is lost before the battle's won

It was etched into the lunch box of my youth
Under the pillow with my innocence and tooth

Then the future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future-past, did the future pass me by?
The future...
