The present self says to the future, "This is what I've done,
You'll find it all out anyway when your time has come
I can't tell you the consequences, just the reason why
But I trust you'll make the best of it, your currents, they spring from mine."
Decisions step along my path where we must interact
The choices change trajectory to future from the past
Their insight's always incomplete, no matter what I ask
The answers don't exist yet, they're created through the task
Now the letters on my knuckles, etched there from another time
represent new meanings, they refer to new lives
Ideas that were concrete at one point have ground to sand
They've eroded from rigidity, now they're sifting through my hands
Perspectives doled out freely from the eye or from the heart
Reactions vary, some I swallow, some I pick apart
Prescriptions always polarize, I'm always drawn away
But everything I've kept or tossed is still with me today
So now I pick the door with only hints to where it leads
The audience is screaming out their choices to me
The host, he holds the cue-cards, he's convinced they hold the key
I walk away, I just can't use their certainties
No, I need to go and find out what I need
