I see only the past

Every memory I retrieve
Comes from something I believe,
And all things that I perceive
Come from illusions that deceive.

Time's moving fast,
Like a cosmic blast --
I'm feeling harassed,
Each question's been asked,
And here's the answer at last:
All we see is only the past.

This is why we always try
To cling to things gone by --
If we can't see anything
How can they mean anything?

Each image is a sacred cow,
And the meaning isn't here right now --
We're all musicians in a band,
Playing songs we don't understand.

No wonder I'm feeling annoyed,
Living with illusions in the void --
My search for truth is burning --
I'm unlearning all my learning.

Nature abhores the vacuum in my heart,
So I will do my part
And make a fresh start --
Let God His knowledge impart --
This will set me apart,
And make my life a work of art.

But still no matter how hard I try,
Every thing I see has already gone by.
