You’re here now
To find a way back to yourself
Discovering your voice
But the sound it makes feels wrong
And the words you say aren’t yours anymore
Is this age or mind control

You can’t erase what’s not here
So I escaped to my secret world where I
Could find a way to exist
Somehow
Without the doubt of what’s next to come
And a fear of death that lives inside my mind
Just let me pretend

I won’t leave without saying goodbye
And I’d like nothing more than to let you know
That I’ll be there laughing right by your side
In another life
In another life

You can’t chase what’s not there
I’m afraid of what’s hiding on the other side
Waiting for me
It’s been a privilege to be
One of those who spent their life in stride
I’m here now
To find a way back to myself
I just needed to hear your voice
To remind me
Of where I’ve been
And where I’m going
You can’t follow

I won’t leave without saying goodbye
And I’d like nothing more than to let you know
That I’ll be there laughing right by your side
In another life
In another life
In another life

You can’t erase what’s not here
So I escaped to my secret world where I
Could find a way to exist
Somehow
Without the doubt of what’s next to come
And a fear of death that lives inside my mind
Just let me pretend
Yeah

You can’t chase what’s not there
I’m afraid of what’s hiding on the other side
Waiting for me
It’s been a privilege to be
One of those who spend their lives in stride
