lyrics

Living in the past when the present is too near
Your vices are devices for getting through the year
Worn by the present, regarding the future with fear
Your vices are devices for getting through the year

Torn in two or start anew, well either way there's a rift
The present tells you some things, though it's through the past you'll sift
And though it gets difficult, being stuck in lateral drift
Some things may cease to be givens, but even they can be gifts

The innocence of the conversation chanced to strike a nerve
I hope you can forget it though that's not what I deserve
'Cause I need to poke and prod at it, and see what I can learn
'Cause I can't tell you anything until I know for sure

Living in the past when the present is too near
Your vices are devices for getting through the year
Worn by the present, regarding the future with fear
Your vices are devices for getting through the year
