Am I inside some strange simulation?

What in tarnation is going on?

I get the feeling I'm participating

In a demonstration, they're just playing along

Is it real?

I still wouldn't know.

Each day I'm growing up like ivy

The leaves surround me,

I can't see a thing

And time moves at the strangest of paces

On a daily basis it's recurring to me

Is it real?

I still wouldn't know.

It's taken time to realize

Maybe I might be someone else inside your mind

I'm learning to see what it is, for what it is

I don't have to know where I'll be while it begins

I'm learning to grow.
