lyrics

Picture this if you will: A young Cassandra Cole skulking around a yard sale only 18 years old. Wanting to be a good big sister, looking for the perfect birthday gift. Ah is there anything better than the gift of music?

This is happening right now. It happened yesterday, it will happen tomorrow! Everything happens all at once don’t you know! This is historical nonfiction at its finest. If not history then what defines us?

Cassandra quickly rifles through a box with dozens of cassette tapes. She decides to buy them all due to the low price on the sticker and she sees a few familiar names. As she goes up to pay, there are a few books suggested to her by a stranger. The titles peak her interest, so she buys those too, why not? They’re only 50 cents a piece. Little did she know though these books would prove to be a game changer,

This is happening right now. It happened yesterday, and it will happen tomorrow! Everything happens all at once don’t you know! Yeah this is historical nonfiction at its finest. If not history then what defines us?

Later that night, sitting on her bed intently is a young Cassandra Cole going through some cassettes trying to figure out which ones would be best to give to a thirteen year old. She picks up a loose nameless tape and slides it in her Walkman. An orotund voice crawls out through the headphones mentioning complex equations, wormholes and time dilation, and the voice just keeps talking. Before she even thinks to flip the tape she’s already taking notes while flipping through the pages of the books she got earlier that day. While she's getting ready to leave for work, Cassandra grabs her Walkman and as she leaves the door, this is when they came, this is when they came for her.

This is happening right now, and it happened yesterday, and it will happen tomorrow! Everything happens all at once don’t you know! It has always happened like this. It will always happen like this. Do you think history can be changed? Even if it could it would’ve always happened that way. It will always happen that way This is historical nonfiction at its finest. If not history then what defines us?
