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
