Past Tense Lyrics

I'm a guiding light

Through the forest

I'll get you home in time

No one noticed

Put your hand in mind

Cold, malnourished

These red bloodshot eyes

The root of all your worship

Sunset boulevard bigger than me

I'm young, coked out, take a picture of me

Don't know how it took so slow

Get to the middle of the crowd just to die alone

I never got old I'm eternally young

If you got an extra gram won't you save me some

Heaven is a stretch when you're majorly dumb

A generation follows, never faded enough

Eternal youth has come to rest

Take your heart from off your sleeve

And put it in your chest

We will never get old

There's demons right above your bed

And hiding in your dope

Uh uh uh

The borrowed land you stand on dissipates at every step

The wheel of dharma lands on deadly secrets better kept

Better yet a habit puts your sorry ass half in debt

The present is a curse when your sorry ass is half in it

When I elope

I'll see time like a kaleidoscope

It's fine alone

I'm at peace in the divine unknown

Someday I will come riding home

Chasing something I don't know

End up where the liars go

And turn to face a higher road

When did it all hit you

When did you stop pretending

You can't start a moment but you can predict the ending

I'm lonely through the evening

And for my youth, I'm grieving

A period that is empty

A lifetime I'm decieving

Eternal youth has come to rest

Take your heart from off your sleeve

And put it in your chest

We will never get old

There's demons right above your bed

And hiding in your dope

When I fell in love with a girl with blue eyes

Something broke in this soul of mine

Maybe the reason I ended up here

Is just cuz I needed someone to hear me

Thought the story had an ending, but it never ends

Keep moving in circles, til you break the lens

I see you every day, forever friends

But my body and soul must make amends

Done with the tears and the faithlessness

Love is the answer, but love depends

On if you're around, if you're at the show

I might stay home, try to get through the night alone

Get through the night alone
