I'm waking alone unfamiliar
To the trees in the sky
When I laid down to rest
These saplings were barely two-foot high
The earth has reclaimed my possessions
And my paradigm
There is no doubting that I've fallen
Through a rip in time
The people living in my village
I don't recognize
They're wearing distant clothes that surely
Do not look like mine
The world has evolved without me
Four hands or so
When all I have is in the past
How can I let that go
The life we call our own
Opportunities that we've blown
Tomorrow's yesterday
The last word that we say
Just a single breath away
I'm shaking the hand of a stranger
Who goes by my name
There is a spark behind his eye
Like mine are two in the same
His manner resembles a mother
Whom I called my bride
My heart is ripping down the middle
Between guilt and pride
The life we call our own
Opportunities that we've blown
Tomorrow's yesterday
The last word that we say
Just a single breath away
Just a single breath away
