lyrics

I have come into the present
I know longer have a past
I don’t know what’s in the future
Just wanna make this present last

uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh

I have come here from the future
To mend the timelines in the past
Maybe then there'd be a future
Worth surviving the present path

uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh

Travel light
through the years my friend
As you sacrifice
All there’s ever been

Travel light
and all alone
As you sacrifice
All you’ve ever known

There’s so much tension in the future
Present tense is not meant to last
Presently i’m in the present
So I can change the future past

uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh

Travel light
through the years my friend
As you sacrifice
All there’s ever been

Travel light
and all alone
As you sacrifice
All you’ve ever known

I have come here from the future
To mend timelines in the past
Maybe then there'd be a future
Worth surviving this crazy past

uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh
uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh
