Present
I’m present…I’m alive,
Fatigued, and feeling gloomy
I’m present – I’ll thrive
To make it through today…to a certain

I’m living in the past all over again
Can’t dwell on wicked and lonesome thoughts
I’m living this lie and I’ve long been
Thinking about you and what you said to me as my soul

Dwelling in shadows
Can’t feel my way out of the abyss
Shed some SHIMMERING light on me…IT’S AS DARK AS AN

Thinking of you…I’m singing – I am b-brea-breathing
I’m present – I’m not dead
Jumping with vigor

Feeling groovy
I’m living for the future – I’m not lying on my deathbed
I wanna make it through tonight –

to appear
Now, my life’s at ease…
Make this moment last forever, please?
At this present time,
We grow like cherry trees in autumn
I still hear the past breeze
Sweep passed me…and it whispered:
Make my soul at ease
…
I live for the future – now, I’m in ease
Don’t interrupt me – PLEASE?
