It's a delusion of an illusion
Seeing the past in the present,
The present in the past,
Caught between what will never last
Both of which try to replace each other
Confused, living not to be a bother.
Staying with the present,
Knowing that the past isn't a choice
The past cannot be the future,
It can only be left in thought.
If to come again, it wouldn't be past
A new beginning, or so to speak
But, that will never stop it to leak
The present shows glimpses of past
Illusions appear, delusions disappear
Questioning, what is to see here?
Quicksand, standing now
Staying within the present vow
Swore forth to stay, only to yourself
A secret that cannot be secret.
Pain cannot be done upon the present,
Though it can appear from the past.
The illusions delusion inside
Delusion, feeling something that isn't there
Illusion, what appears isn't actually here.
Combined as one, still a delusion
Reminding that what tries to show from the past
Isn't actually showing in your present.
