|
He had enough, he couldn't take anymore |
|
He'd found a place in his mind and slammed the door |
|
No matter how they tried they couldn't understand |
|
They washed and dressed him fed him by hand |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
I'm free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you |
|
Withdrawn he'd sit there stare blank into space |
|
No sign of life would flicker on his face |
|
Until one day he smiled it seemed as though with pride |
|
The wind kissed him goodbye and he died |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
Free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you |
|
Keep the world with all it's sin, it's not fit for livin' in |
|
Yeah! I will start again |
|
It can take forever, and ever, and ever |
|
And ever, but I'll still win |
|
How many like him, are there still |
|
But to us, all seem to have lost the will |
|
They lie in thousands plagued and lost |
|
Is nothing worth this bitter cost |
|
Yeah! I've left the world behind |
|
I'm safe here in my mind |
|
Free to speak with my own kind |
|
This is my life, this is my life, I'll decide not you |
|
Keep the world with all it's sin |
|
It's not fit for livin' in |
|
Beyond the realms of death |
