lyrics

The last note rings in my ears
The final light comes down
I hide away and I fall into myself
Do I exist beyond the stage?
My identity is misinformed

Detached and discontent
I'm distant with those I love
A life of balance, well that's not me
Do I exist beyond the stage?
My identity is misinformed

There are those who only wish to see
A man with a mic and a song in his heart
The stage is where he feels free
Egomaniac you can bet, just another cliché
I'd like to think I'm more than a name
I'd like to think I can be free

As the lights fall down
I bathe in adulation
A hero to few, money to others
Escapism now...
