The Tense Changes

Before I leave town

Know all the stunning silence

Is just the way it sounds

You're wasting all your time

Cause it looms outside of language

And the method of your mind

You think you've sent your demise

Just by closing your eyes

You should leave she said

And come and live a little with me instead

It's clear that we have settled inside and so

All that I can tell you is all I know

How it is you've treated your atmosphere

Nothing ever living will find you here

Act to all be different and all the same

Set ourselves to never come back here again

You can't cut ahead to the part where you're dead

So why not work your spirit away instead

To best live out your critical days, she said

We can trick the physics and not come back, no

That's all I can tell you, that's all I know
