I rose from the sadness of many a poet's rhyme[03:48.86]And quelled the flow of tears destined to be mine[03:55.29]I quenched the fear that one day this body will lose its prime[04:01.48]Convinced I'll take another and trump mortal decline[04:13.71]So – detached – I wander, no sentiment to haunt me[04:20.01]Still one fear I cannot shake and it forever daunts me[04:26.28]Each instant that arrives[04:29.03]On top of all eternity[04:31.83]Forces out of sight[04:34.62]What is or what seems to be[04:37.88]Each second that we cast[04:40.73]Is really a second to none[04:43.35]From first to the last[04:46.33]Is lost and forever gone, lost and gone[04:49.26]There's a great deal to be said, but only few are willing to listen[04:54.91]The gift of clarity demands to be paid in pain that its dawning elicits[05:01.21]The present is here-and-now objects, the past but an imprint on these[05:07.51]A state of affairs we remember, its presence beyond our retrieve[05:13.92]The instants that emerge[05:16.78]On top of all that's come to pass[05:19.45]Are forced to converge[05:22.34]What is and what fails to last[05:25.35]Each moment we belate[05:28.34]Was already sealed up and done[05:31.00]Won't last, it won't wait[05:33.78]Another has just begun[05:40.35]Lacking any bearing on a sterile plane[05:46.04]Barren all to come, empty all before[05:52.48]Spinning turmoil, static feign[05:58.39]Our oasis afloat on no ocean to no shore[06:26.47]Infinity in the palm of a hand[06:32.37]Fata morgana of an upward trend[06:38.70]Cold light of day poses its own demand[06:44.78]Blows all to vapor (no definite end)[06:50.97]Transient consciousness never to land[06:57.08]Ticking away in a castle of sand[07:58.78]So trivial seems our relevance[08:04.54]Slips through our hands[08:08.64]By the end of our song and dance[08:12.17]Impermanence[08:14.75]We need to seal our remembrance[08:17.84]Self-importance[08:20.97]But leave nothing of substance[08:26.97]Leave nothing of substance[09:04.11]So trivial seems our relevance[09:11.83]By the end of our song and dance[09:18.47]We need to seal our remembrance[09:33.03]We don't leave something when we leave the substance[10:23.83]The first thought when I wake and the last before I sleep[10:31.18]Is that the future is here[10:33.81]And I am not in it[10:35.95]In the state and the form I'm so eager to keep[10:43.25]All I know I hold dear[10:46.23]No, won't quit[10:48.75]We are grafted onto this[10:51.38]Inescapable continuum of frames[10:55.43]No-one escapes[10:56.94]Every moment adds one to the pile[11:00.48]Thunderous cascades[11:01.84]Another file into the archive of games[11:06.39]That we shape[11:07.92]These fragments shape the fabric of our "now"[12:02.32]Is this knowledge a gift or a poison?[12:08.55]Recollections are all one, they can't be separated out[12:14.75]From this tesseractic prison[12:20.79]Are we complicit or just numb, manacled by doubt?[12:26.28]My efforts to appreciate drown at an increasing rate[12:32.43]"Enjoy it while it lasts", it seems gets pulverized into the stream[12:38.64]And so my boundless reverence	 for having my own song and dance[12:44.84]Settles, calmly turning bland, with all the rest into the sand
