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Withdrawn, he'd sit there,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
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!
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 its 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, lank 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 its sin:
It's not fit for livin' in!
SOLO (KK)
Beyond the realms of death...
