Centenarian - Excalion

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
