lyrics

To be a pawn, to be a star
To be an outlaw on the run
in some rich man’s bar

To be nothing more than
an ornamental jewel
possessed by a lover
superficial and cruel

To flee the crowd and be alone
like you would kick a drug or abdicate a throne
or ghost a friend
who mocks your tears
and ignores the silence
howling in their ears

I carry fire, fire in my mind
to light the way to find
another life
another face
another name
another anyplace
to be alone

To be alone unrestrained
take the world into my open veins
Away from these tiny scenes
and my body double libertine
To break away from my crowd
and all their weird demands
so many clutching hands
never satisfied

You don't have the right to ask
for an alibi at times I stay away
from your flat
from this hell
or disappear into my shell
So take a look at who you see
and ask yourself again
Do you send me on my way
or destroy us both
forcing me to stay?

Watch me grow more distant and
detach from everything that fails
Alone from soul to fingernails
Silhouette against the sun
beyond the reach of anyone
Invited by the sky
to finally fly

Watch me fly
