I was born to perform in another life 
 I was born to die unknown 
 And the life that I choose 
 It won't make it to the news 
 Please let me die alone 
 
 I dreamed I was like Freddie Mercury 
 But sure he was one of a kind 
 I can't lie I can't fake 
 Guess I'm more like Nick Drake 
 Not the worst you can find 
 
 Help me in time I don't need a home 
 Just a place I can write 
 Because it's all in my head you know 
 It's a place I can hide 
 
 Should art be about my inner self 
 Or should it please as many as it can 
 I can't speak for a crowd 
 When the words they come out 
 And that's an art in itself 
 
 How many lives can a man uphold 
 How many dreams can he chase 
 Or is it all about letting go 
 And just keeping your face 
 
 I was born to be alive 
 And to die on a stage 
 I don't care about the gold 
 Let me sing 'till I'm old 
 And let me learn about life 
 
 Because it's all in my head you know 
 It's a place I can hide 
 A place I can hide 
 A place I can hide
