The Present Tense Lyrics

Living in the present tense
When you lose the past
The future makes no senseLiving in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame
No victim of consequence
Living in the present tenseCrawling out
Secure and confident
Imbued with innocence
Ready for the worldSuddenly
The view was more intense
Living in a different
Kind of worldYou're living
Living in the present tense
When you lose the past
The future makes no senseLiving in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame
No victim of consequence
Living in the present tenseSomething is said

It made me step outside
The moment eyes pan right
And left around my worldOpen yourself
Up to the possibility
Aware of some reality
Outside your worldIn a silent universe
The moment can be so real
You almost can't stand itIn a distant universe
Distracted from ourselves
You can't help but wonderIn a crowded universe
When the talking turns to noise
You almost start laughingYou're living
Living in the present tense
When you lose the past
The future makes no senseLiving in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame
No victim of consequenceLiving in the present tense
When there's nothing to blame
No victim of consequence
Living in the present tense
Living in the present tense
