Flashbackwards
What if we could?
What if we could on our own?
And what if we didn’t have a choice?
A picture captures a moment, the song speaks to the soul
A prayer strengthens the spirit, the world seeks to control
The mind triggers an action, your life’s part of the whole
The eyes can tell a story that the mouth has never told
Here I stand, a full grown man
Assessing my future plans from the point where I am
My memory opens up and then it starts to expand
And aspects of life began to be reran
Normally I’m moving fast, no thoughts that’ll past keep
Now things from childhood are more vivid than last week
Recollections from my foreign immediately past creep
Feelin partially sedated or should I say half sleep?
Had to sit down and think, what’s happenin in my mind?
How come my brain is now just recapturin the times
I can see my whole history in flashes of my prime
Clear visions of my existence are graphically defined
Nothing blurry or cloudy, they definitively come
Instead of tapering off they continually run
Across my timeline diametrically directed
Manifesting quicker than my aptitude to process it
A picture captures a moment, the song speaks to the soul
A prayer strengthens the spirit, the world seeks to control
The mind triggers an action, your life’s part of the whole
The eyes can tell a story that the mouth has never told
I can feel myself goin back (Goin back)
I can feel myself goin back (Goin back)
I seen it all and done it all without knowin that
When the trouble winds blow at me I’m blowin back
How can all these thoughts navigate this fast indeed
24 billion miles per second is the average speed
I’m still alive, I ain’t dyin, don’t confuse the game
Life ain’t flashin before my eyes, it’s travelin through my brain
Buildin up my character to face a better foe
Preparing me for somethin bigger than I’d ever know
Some of my points of stress have not been honestly addressed
Can’t be my best with dark moments subconsciously suppressed
A total sum of me is what I made it become
All categories of life inside a day that it’s won (All of em)
You have to make your life, do it, not do what it makes you
You have to take the world over before it overtakes you
A picture captures a moment, the song speaks to the soul
A prayer strengthens the spirit, the world seeks to control
The mind triggers an action, your life’s part of the whole
The eyes can tell a story that the mouth has never told
The cause, will soon materialize shortly
A couple of hours of thought took 5 years off me
Lights strikes in my eyes, I’m instantly energized
Within a matter of minutes I looked and I’m 25
I smile when I arrive, celebrated all the way there
When I reached 22, I was wishin I could stay there
But I kept goin backwards, lookin younger in the mirror
Every stage that I entered played music from the era
It was beautiful as ever, I was youthful, I was clever
Didn’t want to move from it cause I knew that it was better
I slipped to my teen years, now whether spoken or not
I feel that I’m goin too far back, hopin it stops
Middle school, elementary school, no longer older
Now I can’t talk, I can’t even walk, I’m in a stroller
Then back to the day of birth, somehow I remember though
Back into the belly, changin from fetus to embryo
Then a sperm cell exitin the egg and reverse
Then out of the memory of both parents I disperse
Then I heard a voice say how ungrateful that I had been
And said «When you appreciate life I’ll send you back again»
A picture captures a moment, the song speaks to the soul
A prayer strengthens the spirit, the world seeks to control
The mind triggers an action, your life’s part of the whole
The eyes can tell a story that the mouth has never told
