A glance of the present from the past Songtext

So there you stand,
you say you can't believe it's you in what you're seeing now;
oh but you know how even the slowest process can take us by suprise
and right before our eyes
we've turned away
( like standing in the darkness of the brightest day)
before we even know,
tumbling like that cliche ball of snow.
Few notice the road downhill with its gradual descending slope,
most find themselves at the bottom without a single ray of hope.
