Time Flies

The who and the what are answered at birth,
The why is anyone's guess.
The more that I wonder, the older I get,
And I keep remembering less.

Time flies.
What has it brought?
I measure the moment by the pleasure I've got.
Times change
Until you lose track.
Time flies why you're looking back.

You turn into teens, you think that you feel
Emotions nobody shares.
Experience grows, but so do the years.
You find that nobody cares.

Time flies...

Am I a puppet in a passing parade?
Or can I trace it to the choices I made?

I'm playing to win whatever the cost,
And it's cost plenty before.
The image I have is never enough.
I keep imagining more.

Can't conceal the worry I feel.
So why try wearing a mask?
Looking for answers, God only knows,
But I keep forgetting to ask.
Gets me right between the eyes.

Time flies...

Am I a puppet in a passing parade?
Or can I trace it to the choices I made?

Time flies...
