they are all echos
you can only ever look back on things
that's all there ever is to see
the things from now are ever in the past
the place that was is ever in the song
and you are here now
this word and gone
so let them accuse you of sadness
and blame your fading time,
let them hide their own time and their distance
under a mask of skin.
so don't look back
the silence beckons,
now
is all your life.
