lyrics

the hard drives spin up just the same
but I be spinnin down
the story come crashing back to earth
and I will wake up in the same town
the same bed
the same room filled with same things
the same shitty car
to the hated job
with the same old man
you know he's pulling my strings

but there's a place I can escape
be the one, you know I'm in control
fight the good fight every day
behind the screen they love me so

the time has come once again
you know I got to leave, I know you miss me so
save my game for another day
and walk away, I'll come back you know
the same life
I'm out where I'm cursed to be
I'd rather be with them
but that's just a fantasy
this world wasn't built for me

but there's a place I can escape
be the one, you know I'm in control
fight the good fight every day
behind the screen they love me so

the greatest hero you'll ever see
though they'll never hear my real name
don't cha make me go
out there where things only stay the same

oh please don't make me go
oh please don't tear me away
out here they don't care about me
in here you know I want to stay

oh please don't make me go
deny me my only fame
want to belong in the story
even if they say it's only game

the hard drives spin up just the same
but I be spinnin down
the hard drives spin up just the same
