Here in my basement
My life is Ebbing away
Sat in the screen light
I can do little but play
But here in this world
Everything changes
I become a new man
Here in this world
A place full of strangers
My friends all know who I am
Here in my frail shell
I sit in the dark on my own
But when I transform myself
I am never alone
But here in this world
Everything changes
I become a new man
Here in this world
A place full of strangers
My friends all know who I am
My father can't see me
My mother knows not what I've done
But if I am missing
My friends will all notice I've gone
Candles are burning
In places that I've never seen
For I have been wandering
To a place where I've lived all my dreams
