I was born to perform in another life
I was born to die unknown
And the life that I choose
It won't make it to the news
Please let me die alone
I dreamed I was like Freddie Mercury
But sure he was one of a kind
I can't lie I can't fake
Guess I'm more like Nick Drake
Not the worst you can find
Help me in time I don't need a home
Just a place I can write
Because it's all in my head you know
It's a place I can hide
Should art be about my inner self
Or should it please as many as it can
I can't speak for a crowd
When the words they come out
And that's an art in itself
How many lives can a man uphold
How many dreams can he chase
Or is it all about letting go
And just keeping your face
I was born to be alive
And to die on a stage
I don't care about the gold
Let me sing 'till I'm old
And let me learn about life
Because it's all in my head you know
It's a place I can hide
A place I can hide
A place I can hide
