The Present Is a Foreign Land Songtext
von Deaf Havana

I′ve been living in the present as a foreign land, foreign land
Blurred, the days fly by
Like road signs I can't understand, understand
Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don′t see any future calling
I've lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed

Wake up, you're not getting younger
What′s time but pressure in a number
Locked down and being left to wonder
If these hours will come back to haunt me


The past pummels me like an avalanche
I can′t see, I can't breathe
Time′s insidious disconnect eats away at me, totally yeah
Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don't see any future calling
I′ve lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed

Wake up, you're not getting younger
What′s time but pressure in a number
Locked down and being left to wonder
If these hours will come back to haunt me

Perhaps on another day
I might find some other way
To keep the fear in every second at the door
How can I reconcile this world that I don't recognize
Nothing ever seems familiar anymore

Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don't see any future calling
I′ve lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed
Wake up, you′re not getting younger
What's time but pressure in a number
Locked down and no need to wonder
These hours are already haunting me
