"The Present Is A Foreign Land" lyrics

"The Present Is A Foreign Land"

I've been living in the present
As a foreign land, foreign land
Blurred, the days fly by, like road signs
I can't understand, understand

Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don't see any future calling
I've lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed
Wake up, you're not getting younger
What's time but pressure in a number?
Locked down and being left to wonder
If these hours will come back to haunt me

The past pummels me like an avalanche
I can't see, I can't breathe
Time's insidious disconnect
Eats away at me, totally yeah

Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don't see any future calling
I've lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed
Wake up, you're not getting younger
What's time but pressure in a number?
Locked down and being left to wonder
If these hours will come back to haunt me

Perhaps on another day, I might find some other way
To keep the fear in every second at the door
How can I reconcile this world that I don't recognise?
Nothing ever seems familiar anymore

Wait up, I wanna take it all in
I don't see any future calling
I've lost a decade in a moment
Washed out before I even noticed
Wake up, you're not getting younger
What's time but pressure in a number?
Locked down and no need to wonder
These hours are already haunting me
