Walking backwards

Living in the past, having been left behind
Trapped knee deep in the sands of time
Sinking deeper with each passing moment
Helpless as your breath is stolen
Caught up in a dream
Nothing’s as it seems
Where are you now?

Let pass you by, keep blind your eye
The world around you
Keep on walking backwards all your life
Dismiss every piece of advice
never think twice
Owner of truth

So quick to put up a fight,
If you’re always right then there’s nothing to lose
Problems mounting, disengage
Look for someone else to blame
The present never lasts when
The future is your past
Where are you now?

Let pass you by, keep blind your eye
The world around you
Keep on walking backwards all your life
Caught up in a dream, nothing’s as it seems
