The Past & Beyond

The Past & Beyond


Why do we dwell in the past,
When time moves so fast?

The joy in the past,
We thought would last,
Is jus that, part of the past

The times I cried, I smiled, I laughed
The pain I felt, as strong as death,
I choked on words with shortness of breath

Against love I chased, I raced, I ran,
Beat me so low, I forgot how to stand

I wanted to fight,
The future in sight,
But it was out of my reach,
Because the past was the only language I could speak

I wanted to grow,
I wanted to know,
I desired wisdom and to learn
But from the past I still burned

So now the fire is out,
I switched my route,
Now present, not past
No longer harassed

I’ve set a new sail,
I’m free from that jail
My new love is like heaven,
My past is in hell,

It’s the end of the game,
I’m burning new flames
All glory, no shame

So goodnight to the eyes,
We’ve said the goodbyes,
No hugs, no kiss
No dreams, no wish

Cause the past,
Is not meant to last,
And now my past is past, my present is here,
And I’m fixed on the Beyond.
