      Today I spent awhile
      In a world I’d left behind
      I knew what I was doing
      But I didn’t change my mind
      I could have turned around
      In fact I did one time
      But in the end I caved
      And returned to do the crime
      I entered my old haunt
      It hadn’t changed a bit
      No sunlight reached inside
      It scared me I admit
      The old familiar ways
      I fell back in the pattern
      I chose my first machine
      The wheels began to chatter
      The lights the sounds the feel
      It was just as I’d left it
      But something wasn’t right
      Something was wrong…decrepit
      No pleasure came to me
      I saw it was just a machine
      There was no magic to it
      In fact it felt unclean
      I was winning here and there
      But it didn’t make me smile
      I looked around and saw
      Only people in exile
      Exiled from their lives
      Escaping in a lie
      What was I trying to do?
      I stopped, I breathed, I sighed
      This world I used to crave
      Was strange, unknown, unkind
      I didn’t want to stay
      I left and cleared my mind
      For 15 minutes that day
      I wandered back in time
      But the world I used to know
      Is now forever left behind
