In the memories of the future

A song if you like to sing the words rather than read them.

It appears again.
A flash of light
To a memory that I don't have.

A scene
Of something to happen,
A moment that passed,
And of a world
I've never seen before.

Greeting me
With a song to the heart
And
A collapsing world to my eyes.

I'm living in the memories of the future.

Forgetting the past and the present
As I watch the world in a five second clip
Before it burns into flames.

I'm living in the memories of the future.

Such familiar places gone to ruins,
People no longer around,
Like an apocalypse.
Its an illusion fabricated by my fear,
It shouldn't be, shouldn't be.

Looking to another life,
How delusional can it be
And how realistic it can be.

No words to put together,
But a thousand migraines seems to do the trick.

Just forget.

I'm living in the memories,
Memories, memories of the future.
I'm living,
Living,
Living for a life that hasn't happened yet.

I "got" it...and recognize:

"Looking to another life,
How delusional can it be
And how realistic it can be. "

How a daydream dreamed enough times can feel like a memory....

I agree with you regarding deja vu and nostalgia...they are uncomfortable. But what you have described is something altogether different...and I knew it when I read it. Hmmmph...well done.

Thanks. I’ll try my best not to be confusing next time.
