Intro (whispered, layered voices)
Only here. Only now.
Where am I?
If I can’t see past me—
I can’t see.

⸻

Verse 1
I grow inside a time of mind,
Forecasting futures I can’t find.
A maze, a haze, a hologram—
A fragment wondering who I am.

Where was I the other day?
Did the dream just slip away?
Am I moving, am I still?
A fuzzy state I cannot will.

⸻

Chorus
What is it to be—
If I can’t see past me?
What is it to know—
If I can’t let it show?
I, I block my view,
I can’t see through.
The grass is green, but always far,
I forget what I already are.

⸻

Verse 2
The scenery of mind refracts,
A mirror bends, the image cracks.
Reason with the seasons’ flow,
Sprinkled truths I may not know.

I am the me, the I, the you,
The hidden code in what I do.
But still I circle, endlessly—
I can’t see past what I can’t see.

⸻

Bridge (spoken, mantra-like)
Keep an eye on yourself…
Existing in reality.
It’s a dangerous place…
You must see objectively.

Time and state relate what you create,
Every moment’s an event to navigate.
Forecast the now, agree to the flow,
Rise with the moment—let yourself know.

⸻

Final Chorus (crescendo)
What is it to be—
If I can’t see past me?
What is it to find—
If I’m locked inside the mind?
I, I block my view,
I can’t see through.
But the eye of time reminds the key:
Keep an eye on me—inside of time.

⸻

Outro (soft, fading echo)
Only here. Only now.
Where am I?
I can’t see past me.
I can’t see.
I can’t see.

Can't See Past Me

D & C 84:99-102 

The Lord hath brought again Zion;
The Lord hath redeemed his people, Israel,
According to the election of grace,
Which was brought to pass by the faith
And covenant of their fathers.

The Lord hath redeemed his people;
And Satan is bound and time is no longer.
The Lord hath gathered all things in one.
The Lord hath brought down Zion from above.
The Lord hath brought up Zion from beneath.

The earth hath travailed and brought forth her strength;
And truth is established in her bowels;
And the heavens have smiled upon her;
And she is clothed with the glory of her God;
For he stands in the midst of his people.

Glory, and honor, and power, and might,
Be ascribed to our God; for he is full of mercy,
Justice, grace and truth, and peace,
Forever and ever, Amen.
