I wonder if this life is more than what it seems to be
A mansion on a hillside or a money-covered tree
I know I've come upon this exit many times before
And everytime I do so, I quickly shut the door

But this time I'm considering the journey that awaits
A journey that the status quo will not think all that great
And maybe there'll be fortune there and maybe there'll be fame
And maybe I might never have a penny to my name

But either way I'm closing in on what I see as true
A life caught in the 'rat race' is not what I'm to do
You call it "fantasy," you call it what you may
But I would rather go this route than any other way, on any given day

"Don't go now"
I have to
"Don't go now"
I have to
"Don't leave us now"
I have to...

Why do I feel so alone
Always feeling so alone
Why do I feel so alone
Always feeling so alone

I step into the mountains and close the door behind
And wander through the photographs and the songs of my yesterdays
A man without a country is what I try to be
Forget about my journey into what I'm growing up to be

What keeps me here? I don't know
My friends are gone- should I follow?
Don't ask me now, I don't care
Find me for the answer, if you can, tomorrow
