lyrics

In Gilded halls, self portraits of a stranger
Gallery walls of which I’m arranger
The present tense in this sense held still Endangered
Impossible pageant held against our nature

Dreaming as the near future becomes
A distant memory
Seeing now all clear viewing As one whole
Moment here to be
It’s All I ever need
This moment here to be

In this garden, fruit bears sour
(Shadows hide in sunlight showers)
Plastic petals masquerade as Flower
(Shadows hide in sunlight showers)
Glass birds Drink to pass the hours
(Shadows hide in sunlight showers)
Hallucinated self illusions will devour
(Shadows hide in sunlight showers)

Dreaming as the near future becomes
A distant memory
Seeing now all clear viewing As one whole
Moment here to be
It’s All I ever need
This moment here to be

No one left to see
Where I used “I” used to be
