O.K. Kalonji - Past Tense

All my senses, all of my senses
Are in present tense, and you look a bit tense
You gotta hold your breath,
Maybe count to ten
Then get on
Pat your chest
If you find the rhythm
In your dampening neck
If you find a reason
Not to grab that hand
Painted red, reaching out to you
Hold that thought
I can't hear a thing
I've got a million ways
To keep all this in
But for a second, lost focus
All I see is a blur
All my senses, all of my senses
Act as if in past tense
And they're making me feel
Something that's long dead
From a body that I don't know
Here's what we seem to prefer ;
To hide away for years in hope to delay all the hurt
Now my heart is feeling sore
If only I could tell what is now, what was before
And I am talking to myself again
"I'm not so sure, that you're so pure"
Wasn't much of a fighter, then
If I lived above my head I could ignore
My own ideas
I've shed no tears
I want to live
Here's what we seem to prefer
To hide away for years
As if you can live with all the hurt
Now, there's banging at the door
And I can never tell if this is now or was before
And I'm talking to myself again (all my senses, all of my senses)
Thinking bout how I need someone to blame to breathe again (act as if in past tense, I live in past tense)
In my circuit, an anomaly
I cannot wake because I live inside a memory
