I went to sleep and woke up a man
Time was out of sequence with the details of my plan
  And as days grow longer and I get older
Time sped up, as my past now longer, than when I began
As the history of my life unravels quietly,
The noise I planned to make, is muffled by my reality.
While part of life, not quite old enough to fear death.
But I am scared of not living, that I almost kept.
As time waits for no one, a selfish fixture unto itself,
Constantly moving forward, building it's historical wealth

I went to sleep and woke up an adult
Time enhancing the details of the memories I was dealt.
  And as days grow shorter and I get older,
Time continues as I look back at my decisions and their results.
I continue to look, if Any dreams were fulfilled.
Some where, without question, but too many were nil.
Dreams of youth taken over by life and circumstance
Taking steps as life's partner, didn't always know how to dance
But time will hound you, it's bite stronger with age
As all of my ideas and memories just blend and fade.

I went to sleep and woke up a kid
I got tired of time, so I closed my eyes and hid.
And as days get numbered as I grow older
Dreaming made time back up, so that's what I did.
