Present Tense

Do you see the way that tree bends
Does it inspire
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets
Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one
Who can't forgive yourself
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder to find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets
Or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one
Who cannot forgive yourself
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
