Beyond the Realms of Death

He's had enough
 He couldn't take anymore
 He 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 Withdrawn he sat there
 Staring 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
 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 its sin
 It's not fit for livin' in
 Yeah! I will start again
 It can take forever, and ever
 Whatever, whenever, but I'll still win
 How many like him
 Are they still
 Who to us all
 Seem to have lost the will
 They lie in thousands
 Lank and lost
 Is knowledge worth this bitter cost
