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
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Withdrawn he’d sit there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 then 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 youkeep the world with all it’s sin
It’s not fit for livin’ in
Beyond the realms of death.
