Lately I've found myself looking at the ground when I walk
When did this happen?
When did it all go wrong
Trapped somewhere between the dream and the projection
I guess I lost track of reality
27 years
11 years since I left school
I paid my dues
and since then my bills
I've been walking to my own beat
It's been fun
(It's been the best)
But it had to happen sooner or later
Playtime is over.
Time to re-find myself
Time to reinvent myself
(it's not the first time)
Time to grow up
Time to lift my head up again
Relax ' This won't hurt

"11 years since I left school

Love that line. The opening line is great, strong. This flows really nicely. The only little comment I might have is the title....while it is encompassing, it would be interesting to have something a bit more off kilter or specific to match the tone. But I really like it.
