Past Is Prologue - Currents (feat. Riolanza) Lyrics

Sunlight buried on the inside
Confide in the person that I don't mind
In time I'll see you in another life
I know now it's too late to compromise
I realize this has to end
This has to end

Sunlight buried on the inside
Confide in the person that I don't mind
In time I'll see you in another life
I know now it's too late to compromise
I realize this has to end
This has to end

It's like the current runs against me
Pulled in the undertow
It's getting harder to pretend
That I can make it out
I'm living in the in the moment, can't dream
Now I can see
Why can't I transcend

I dressed you up in gold, I spent a lifetime
I'm waiting for a chance to grab a lifeline
I've watched your dream unfold, never the wrong kind
Why does this always end at just the right time
You move a bit too slow and say you're just fine
I know it's getting cold, I know you don't mind
I was chasing you, now we're fading youth
I can see so clear, now I know the truth

I have painted you in portraits and dress you up in gold
I've spent a life of fortune to be the blessed hand you hold
I've forged a thousand memories upon the dream you had let go

Thought I would have more time
More than just words in a rhyme
And I can't stay in this place
It's costing too much of my head space
Hard to recoup when nothing to see through
The least that I can say I found a new truth
The clock keeps on ticking it's not worth missing
Another moment we'll never get
So be with me, here with me
Love more than you ever loved anything
Not all that glitters is gold, so I will paint it yellow
Either ways to perceive this life just a little differently

It's like a current runs against me
And we carry forward in bold
And if I'm talking a bit to slowly
It's only so my story's told
It's like a current runs against me
And I can't carry anymore
And if I'm talking a bit too slowly
It's to make sure my words are heard

I have painted you in portraits and dress you up in gold
I've spent a life of fortune to be the blessed hand you hold
I've forged a thousand memories upon the dream you had let go
