 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

 Music: - - - - -

- - - - - ( - - - - )

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 Withdrawn he'd sit there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 then he died

 Music: - - - - -

- - - - - ( - - - - )

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

 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.

 Music: /

 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

- - - - - ( - - - - )

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 livin' in

Beyond the realms of death.
