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
I’ve left the world behind
I am 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
We tried to sit down
Staring his face
No sign of life
Did flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye……and then he died
I’ve left the world behind
I am 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
Keep the world with all it’s sin
It’s not fit for living in — yeah
I will start again
It can take forever, forever & ever & ever
But I’ll still win
How many like him
Are there still
Who to us all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Lank & lost
Is knowledge worth
This bitter cross — yeah
I’ve left the world behind
I am 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
Keep the world
With all it’s sin
It’s not fit for living in
Beyond the realms of death
