           When illusion spin her net

           I'm never where I want to be

           And liberty she pirouette

           Watched by empty silhouettes

           Who close their eyes but still can see

           No on taught them etiquette

           I will show another me

           Today I don't need a replacement

           I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant

           My heart going boom boom boom

           "Hey" I said "You can keep my things,

                     they've come to take me home."
