CAUGHT IN THE PAST Lyrics

Facing down memory lane

Analyzing thoughts contained

Bringing echoes of the pain

Coming down like acid rain

It's insane, the punishment Mixed with turmoil and regret

You've put yourself up in a trance

Imagination has enhanced

Conceptions based on every gone-by chance

Stubborn Jackass in your stance!

Consider even just a glance

To look ahead

At least make that advance!

Understand that seeding budding plants make it through the dark dirt in their expanse

Life and nature give all the clues

So take that action, grow on through

Life moves so fast don't caught in the past

Take time for a laugh

Make your mark on the map Can't win a marathon by only running one lap

If you think inside the box, you got caught in a trap

If you're caught in the past, get with the present real fast

You're missing opportunities that are falling on your lap The future's wide open

You need to focus on that

Fuck the excuses, I'm sick of that crap!

Time is your limited resource, it will never last

You're wasting precious moments when you're living in the past!

Loved ones gone continue on The night is darkest before the dawn!

It's part of life to bear a broken heart

You may be a victim, but don't act the part

What's behind us doesn't have to define us

Can't build shit from a pile of dust!

And fuck those people who've lost your trust

Fair weather friends can catch some rust

Close that book, end that chapter

Find some new kindred souls to share some laughter

This isn't all about dismiss and forgetting

But having patience with yourself

And not re-admitting the demons back in

So stop letting negative forces block you from where you're heading

Like dead skin, begin the shedding

A Phoenix through the fire it's a whole new setting!

Life moves so fast

Don't caught in the past

Take time for a laugh

Make your mark on the map

Can't win a marathon by only running one lap

If you think inside the box you got caught in a trap

If you're caught in the past, get with the present real fast

You're missing opportunities that are falling on your lap

The future's wide open

You need to focus on that

Fuck the excuses, I'm sick of that crap!

Time is your limited resource, it will never last

You're wasting precious moments when you're living in the past
