I see familiar sights
I see my past
I know my past
I taste my past
Future
Present
I live
No escape from the present
Dwell the past
Run
Fire sparkling
I taste the scent: potent grill
Warmth
Sun bringing
I remember vacations of angsty youth
Teach me the ways
Teach me the ways
I feel everything
      Infinite
I have been blind
Blind
Blind my whole life
My windowless room
Shows recovery
I see old
Life
Through the eyes of the younger self
I'm thinking
Re imaging
Living

Nostalgia
Run
Run away from this world
You see the imagined
Lies
Sense of youth
Criminalizing the mind
Feel the now
Happiness
Sadness
Lust
Desire
Short-lived loves
All
Feel
Now doesn't last forever
