Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)

Oh god time
Watts told me its an illusion
Yesterday is a lie
and
Tomorrow is an illusion
All there is
is
a
NOW
All that matters is the NOW

Its all NOW
NOW
NOW
NOW

There is no tomorrow and yesterday is a lie
Rhymes are a waste of time
As tomorrow is a lie
As time tie
the lies
of a dark dime

Lie down in time
as it chime
away
everything that ones was
and everything that ever will
BE
Its now
