Lyrics and music by Katt McConnell

lyrics

There is a place that I like to go whenever I'm feeling down
When I need to release my anger or stress, or I just want a night on the town
I don't take the highway, I leave the car in the driveway,
Instead, I pick up my control,
Turn on the TV and then the explosions
Are the music that soothes my soul.

For I am a warrior,
I am a cyborg,
I am a bard—but with knives!
I am a pirate,
I am a ninja,
And I've many more than nine lives.

Life's pretty taxing and dull when you spend your day working nine to five,
And there in that setting you'll soon go insane if you don't find a way to survive.
We all need to play, and at the end of the day
When the real world has gotten me down,
I enter the realm of missions and spells
And I no longer feel like I'll drown.

For first I'm a zombie,
Then maybe a vampire,
And sometimes the peasants survive.
Next I'm an outlaw,
And then a commander,
And I've many more than nine lives.

Some call me odd for finding escape in worlds that could never exist,
But we've all got our methods for coping with life and all of its myriad twists.
I must have my fantasy to survive my reality,
And it's never once failed me yet.
And besides, you know sometimes
Those pixels deserve what they get!

Sometimes I'm a plumber,
Sometimes I'm a princess,
Sometimes I'm a healer who revives.
I might be a hero,
I might be a villain,
But I've many more than nine lives.
And I'll need every one of those lives...
