Collage of the Present Lyrics

An ordinary life, an ordinary day.
I never knew it any other way.
The time fades away
like the night into the day,
another hour lost, another bill to pay.

The morning washes over me,
circling towards the drain.
I try to keep going, ignoring the pain.
Looking down at myself,
staring fear in the face,
and in the rippling water
I'm being taken from this...

Inner disaster, growing faster in my mind.
I am drifting...
(Thoughts and memories drift away.)
Weigh your future, bury your past.
The time will come when the first are last.

This present moment, reality so unreal,
functionality fading,
don't understand what I feel.
Where is this going? Can't recall myself.
No regard for my life,
no regard for my health.

Myself to the left, the world to the right,
I'm not quite ready to give up this fight.
No sense of control, almost like possession.
Distorted consciousness, precious regression.

What is this I feel taking over me?
I'm now somewhere else momentarily.
Where am I - is this real?
Losing touch with myself...

It grips my being and I cannot speak.
Its powerful release leaves me weak.
In silent euphoria, deafening bliss,
captivated by magnificence,
I witness my insignificance.
Everything fades, everything fades...

Inner disaster, growing faster in my mind.
I am drifting...
(Thoughts and memories drift away.)
Weigh your future, bury your past.
The time will come when the first are last.
