about

For some, the future always seems *just* out of reach, while others just want to banish us into the past. Making the best of what you have whilst trying to make things better is sometimes all you can do.

lyrics

The past it presses on your memory again
You try to forget but the impressions remain
You try to act normal but it’s just not the same
'Cause once you’ve seen the sun
you can’t go back to the grey

Forced to let go of the world you knew
Now there’s nothing left to hold on to
You can’t ignore it when you know something’s wrong
Because the bottle is empty and the genie is gone

It’s like the past never knew
That the future’s coming
But there were signs, there were signals
And enough fair warning
Of all the things I wish I could prevent
Was always feeling stuck in the present
Maybe I’m impatient for tomorrow to be today

Man-child wants to be “King of the World”
And the right connections made it work
Forced into submission
it’s their right to rule
So keep those lies coming, keep the people fooled

It’s like the past never knew
That the future’s coming
But there were signs, there were signals
And enough fair warning
Of all the lies that you chose to believe
Was thinking you weren’t being deceived
Maybe you were told that tomorrow was out of reach

Bottle opposition and label it fear
But it’s happening now and it’s happening here
What will you do with the lies you were taught
When it turns out worse than you ever thought?

There’s a future here if you want there to be
Take back control, take back the streets
It’s not the future you dream of, it’s the future you make
Because nothing ever comes to those who wait

It’s like the past never knew
That the future’s coming
But there were signs, there were signals
And enough fair warning
Of all the things I can’t believe
Is your refusal to accept you’re so naive
Maybe you think that tomorrow will never come

It’s like the past never knew
That the future’s coming
But there were signs, there were signals
And enough fair warning
Of all the things I wish I could prevent
Was always feeling stuck in the present
Maybe I’m impatient for tomorrow to be today
