Now is forever, here is infinite

This mind is trapped in a bind
I tell myself it never happened
But the truth comes out every time

Love is fleeting
but the memories don't go away
So I guard my childhood
for as long as I have a say

in keeping myself sheltered
keeping myself safe

Due to our shift
to a psychological state of mind
In the fight for survival
of the humankind

Whoever was forgetting to breathe
should set a respiratory pace
For best results in this
cardiovascular rat race
