Real Time from Two by Dichroma

Real Time

I am lost, I have wandered
Or I never found my way
I can't remember
If I drift without direction
On the crowded rush of day
I won't remember
If it's true that the whole of what is
Is the sum of what was
Then I'm nothing, remembering no-one

These are the days I won't remember
Drift on time and tide as time goes by
The more I hold onto, the more I slip away
Leave me be
Pass me by
I'm disconnected from your real-time world

Was I there
Between the fragments
In the gaps while I'm away
I can't remember
If I wake in every moment
From a dream that fades to grey
I won't remember
Just a shred
Just a thin scrap of now
In the moments I'm allowed
And I'm nothing, remembering no-one

These are the days I won't remember
Drift on time and tide as time goes by
The more I hold onto, the more I slip away
Leave me be
Pass me by
I'm disconnected from your real-time world

Years in seconds rushing by
How old am I?
Frozen still while days outside
Keep rushing by

A thousand faces out of time
Which one is mine?
The mirror stares with strangers' eyes
So who am I?

Never here
Never now
When you are
Seeming near but wandering far
And I'm nothing
And I'm no-one

These are the days I won't remember
Drift on time and tide as time goes by
The more I hold onto, the more I slip away
Leave me be
Pass me by
I'm disconnected from your real-time world

(I can't remember)
A crowd of voices out of time
Which one is mine?
Days and years go racing by
While I'm away
The mirror shows a stranger's face
How old am I?
Awake for seconds of each day
I'll slip away
