Centenarian

Time it moves too slowly Life's too short for such a pace I have conquered my days Outlived my meagre years Every nightly hour I lay low and hide The window opens wide This glowing screen, these worlds unseen They are my private time machine On every page a key to my cage While the centuries are walking past The first and last alive Cast aside to watch the world go by Some stories just were made to last Across the seams of time I sleep to keep my dream alive Time and place are only passages I cross at will Ages pass, I'm here still older than I seem to be Every nightly hour, I am on my way To escape the present day The future dreams, the histories I craft my own realities On every page a key to my cage While the centuries are walking past The first and last alive Cast aside to watch the world go by Some stories just were made to last Across the seams of time I sleep to keep my dream alive While the centuries are walking past The first and last alive Cast aside to watch the world go by Some stories just were made to last Across the seams of time I sleep to keep my dream alive While the centuries are walking, oh... Some stories made to last While the centuries are walking, oh... I sleep to keep my dream alive
