Skip - Man From the Near Future Lyrics

I am John Tittor
Not left or right
Red or blue
They call me off-center
A man i once knew
Said that "once he got his heart set in
You best to book it
Look at that
He's back and hard grinnin'
And brought that scar with him!"
It's hard livin'
I'm here in a past tense
Only watching
The end is near, so keep options
Lead cautious-ly
Seem to bleed often
No more heroes
Long as zeroes keep playin' possum
Pardon this perilous news
Not here to scare
Neither to prove
There's no win or lose
Just prepare
Some men dream the end and wish they could be there
Yes, they see that their heaven ain't free
But don't care
I'm back for the staggering number of lives took
Not thinking
That believing in me would do any good
But i should, ahp
Confess that i
Could do's inept
I reflect on the reasons i'm here
There's none left

Yet i'm still here
Half fate, half defiance
I've never been one for compliance
Time goes by
Clock hands seem to function
Just minutes to go 'til destruction
I'm still here
Half fate, half defiance
I've never been one for compliance
Time goes by
Clock hands seem to function
Two path in a wood, now pick something

My brain told my heart "fall back, don't interfere"
But the heart told the brain to f*ck off and stay clear
I'm still here now
Despite life and all it's challenges
For me no averagism
Terrorism dressed like activism
And half the lesson ain't learned without mistakes
So perhaps a-pocalism's what it'll take
Ahp, but wait now
A tempt of fate now
A knock on wood
What's to say now?
I got to pray, wow
This isn't good
Hope God don't think less of me
Not much - there to fear i guess
Evil had got the best of me
Reason there's no heroes left
Forewarned, no pat on the back for impact
A world that barely intact
And soon gone
Wish i could get back
Back into a present state of mind
All fossilized - ghosts of a land before time
I'm trying
Let's pray they'll hear us now
Ashes to ashes and we all fall down
