[Verse 1]
Once the future blazed so bright ahead
Modernity promised progress in our thread
But something shifted in the flow of time
The future's pull began its slow decline
[Chorus]
Future dimension, slipping away
Yesterday's tomorrow feels like today
Marinetti's speed and his futurist dream
Now seems distant from our modern scene
The politics of time has changed the game
Progress isn't quite the same
[Verse 2]
Nineteen-oh-nine, Marinetti wrote his call
"Destroy the museums, tear down it all"
Speed and youth and dynamic flight
The future burning bold and bright
[Chorus]
Future dimension, slipping away
Yesterday's tomorrow feels like today
Marinetti's speed and his futurist dream
Now seems distant from our modern scene
The politics of time has changed the game
Progress isn't quite the same
[Bridge]
Osborne shows us how we've lost our way
The avant-garde's tomorrow is today
Temporal experience reshaped our minds
The future's force no longer binds
[Verse 3]
Modernity promised linear time
Each moment building toward the sublime
But now we're caught in present tense
The future lost its consequence
[Chorus]
Future dimension, slipping away
Yesterday's tomorrow feels like today
Marinetti's speed and his futurist dream
Now seems distant from our modern scene
The politics of time has changed the game
Progress isn't quite the same
[Outro]
When the future loses grip on now
We must ask ourselves just how
To navigate this temporal maze
In these post-progressive days
