Repetition On Tralfamadore

I believe that when it ends the seconds will stretch on for eons
That our place in time has already happened
And we get to go back
On and on among the infinity
Of forgotten things
Forgetting again to remember again
Existing at all times, my timeline and yours
"So it goes"
I believe we are just light trapped within an army of synapses
                             a result of an infinite number of interactions
   that all of this was bound to happen
In time
Our place cannot stop existing because there is no such thing
As not existing
It's already happening
At the same time
Everything has already happened
Consciousness is merely matter observing itself
Unstuck in time
Like a book read for the first time
Something we knew of, intimately
But didn't write a word of
      like an absentee editor
          or something just like it

For the rest of my life
I will believe this
Without a prayer or a hope
           or a belief
In any bearded wizard with an ant farm
To save me. . .
For I have already been saved
Because I was born
And no myth can take that away
Not from me not from nobody
I know I will always die as myself
On my own timeline
I believe this
On repeat

this reminds me of the video that you posted on my profile, about the fact that the future , just like the present already happened. There is no such thing as destiny i suppose...just a knowledge, because when you know something for sure, you don't need faith.

''army of synapses''...i like that
