The past is gone without any goodbyes

It will permanently be with you whenever you sigh

It whispers late at night, to those who listen

"Hey, do you remember the traumas when you were 9?"

His question replay, every detail of the terrors you've lived

The nights you cried, after your parents' fight

Or the days you were numb because your friends find you dumb

Little steps you take and the past is gone,

The Present is here, so nasty, playing with you all the time

As if you are his little prisoner, gulping his sour wine

He claims "I'm better than what's gone, I'm the best"

But you don't know that he's just taking your test

He makes you all dreamy & pleased

He is the sexy devil, who will make you bleed

Living with the present is always fun

You never know what's about to come

But then you wonder will the future be scary

Will you be all old & hairy?

Will you be cursing like an alcoholic?

Or will you pretend to be happy just like the wife who gets beaten up every night?

Or will you have Money, Power & Fame

That will make you completely insane?

You take a deep breath, & let go of all three demons

Because you know in your heart, as the ages pass

You'll become the master &

The past, present & future will bow down to you at last.
