Hope The Past Don’t Show Lyrics

[Intro: Elusive]
I've been through pain, but I'm coping
To never see the past again, is all I'm hoping
For, but sometimes the best way to move on
Is just for you to leave it all out in the open
Cause I won't do what you expect me to
My impression was real, our love was never true
And it took strength for me to tell you how I feel
But I'll heal, cause when it's over, I'll be starting new..

[Verse 1: Elusive]
This ain't the life, I was born in
I saw the light, but I took it as a warning
There's no reassuring me now, I will never see a cloud
When it's forming, though I've been soaring
It's painful, watching on from the side
When you wanna make a difference, but you've gotta hide
From the past, like the future is a present
But for me, the three of them just always seem to coincide..
So don't go inside, of a broken mind
Unless you know what you're in for, don't hope to find
Any answers in here, cause the only thing that I can see is darkness
It's like I don't know I'm blind
But I yearn to see
So when I say that I am fighting for my life, I'm really fighting for eternity
Till I return to be
A new me, but I'm not gonna say goodbye, until my past stops haunting me..
[Hook: Ashleigh Munn]
Oh, in time it slows..
For no one on this road..
The pain and anger grows..
In time we wished was froze..
But we can make this better..
The future's bright, it glows..
So keep your head together..
And hope the past don't show..

[Verse 2: DMB]
Yes life is hard, in a jungle made of concrete
I might be scarred, but I'm fighting till I'm complete
You may be happy spending time in your ensuite
But I'm returning to Orion for a long sleep
You think you know me, but I am lonely
Within in this city of dreams it seems there's only
Myself, that's worried 'bout my health
But it just might help, to go ahead and plant my own tree
Because it's hard to see, looking through the glass pane
Smoke and mirrors surround you inside the fast lane
Where we're going we can throw away our last name
And start looking for the place, from whence our hearts came
But feel a sharp pain, cause this has just begun
The past will always catch up to you so why do we run
Cause if that's why we're here again
And you just treat it like a game, this is one we will keep playing on until we've won..
[Hook]

[Bridge: DMB]
Can we be free in a world of full of limitation? Or..
Can we hold hands in a world full of immigration?
Can I be me in a world full of imitation?
Cause all we need is a handful of inspiration..

[Verse 3: DMB]
But there's no indication, that we can't win
Because my shadows beneath me when I am standing
Even facing all the gods, I'm erasing all the odds
If you're ready to move on just put your hands in
And start dancing, to this dope flow
Learn how to move with the music or you just won't grow
Instead of reliving your memories in slow-mo
We can put the past behind and hope it don't show..

[Hook]
