Worlds Colliding

Here I stand once again Can't care if the words flow anymore Nostalgic overload blows through my shell Staring out of an old window Where did I stand? Head down, staring out of the old window Teacher cleaned the blackboards as gentle winds blew And the kind sun shone upon the trees outside Only five at the time with no knowledge of the outside world In such a short time, it's all changed so much Pixels have become polygons And VHS has become Blu-Ray Now here I am Pale gray skies crying down on me Eclipsed by my failing generation Time fascinates me so She stands before me Do I run? Do I stay? I'll grasp at thin air a thousand times before I get my answer Past, present and future all crash together All I Can see Fades away In this darkness I Cannot be bothered To find out why I Cannot breathe
