In my life's story, there's nothing of glory
nothing of value and nothing I've achieved
just like a program, tasks keeping me run
all of my existence, meaningless it seems
Life's feeling so low, each day seems so hollow
Lost in the daily workflow, I'm just blending in
My dreams keeping me go, there's no reason to follow
Living life in sorrow, breathing feels so thin

Here as I stand, I'm a living shadow
Wasting my life till it sets me free
no highs only lows, I am broken, shallow
Living the life of an NPC

Then I first saw them, I wanted to join in
do what they did and be part of their joy
A foolish demeanor, of an hopeless dreamer
and all of my desires, would soon be destroyed
you are not special, you are unsuccessful
You'll never be like us, so please just be gone
this vicious reminder, this blatant divider
pushed me back to the place I belong

And here as I stand, I'm a living shadow
Wasting my life till it sets me free
no highs only lows, I am broken, shallow
Living the life of an NPC
Whatever I do, I am being forgotten
Only a drop in this vast, grey sea
My meaning of life is of no importance
Living the life of an NPC

My life may not be bad, there is not much to be mad
I'm not in the spotlight, but maybe that's okay
not much to worry, and not much to carry
Trying to survive, until I fade away

So here as I stand, I'm a living shadow
Wasting my life till it sets me free
no highs only lows, I am broken, shallow
Living the life of an NPC
Whatever I do, I am being forgotten
Only a drop in this vast, grey sea
My meaning of life is of no importance
Living the life of an NPC
And here as I stand, waiting for the gallows
Wasting my life till I am set free
and god only knows, of my missing halo
Living the life of an NPC
