David Whalen - Living In The Past

2014-11-10 3 Dailymotion

Isn’t it strange
That everything looks
exactly the same…

Yet It all changes
In the instant
You perceive it

That you are looking
Into the past of all
That you see

And that it’s quite
Impossible to see
What really is…

And only possible
To see what was…
In the blink of time before…

Impossible for humans
To see the difference
But the difference is there for sure

Does it matter? Not a whit!
It’s just an interesting fact
That what we think we see

And everything and everyone
that we see … has changed…
and no longer exists

Exactly as they were…
and that every second
Of every day

We exist… only in the past
And our reality
No longer exists at all

So what we see
Is only memory
Are we time travelers after all?
