haw whats that you say
I'm this and that is
Well that's ok
Well I've got something just for you
To make you feel the way I do
Don't talk crap you can't touch me
Been here for years you're never free
I'll make you feel so small today
Stop you functioning in every way
ohh so scared and so alone
Don't you dare touch that phone
They won't believe a word you say
You've had your turn
its mine today
Come with me cause your the clown
fancy a drive into the town
got a place I need to be
a place for me were I'll be free
might take some weeks
for you to leave
I'm not asking I wont say please.
forget the meds they don't work
tried so many with no luck
its time to bring the big boy on
the new toy in town
it sure signs my song
you see it's my turn now
to take control
for you to go leave me alone
so my friend can you see
the avatar in front of me
so come on let's go bring it on
your usual crap the same old song
for this is different as you'll see
the avatar will set me free
