It Comes From Somewhere
Now, it’s about 3 in the morning, and I’m still not in bed
It’s raining outside, and there’s something unsaid
You live in my slumbers, but I know that you’re gone
I think it’s friggin awesome that I’m moving along
I swear, I couldn’t bear to stare into the dead of the night
So taken with the sight I would tremble inside
The hum of the big city, the distant traffic, the lights
Anxious and swollen with loneliness, I’d get colder than ice
It blazed on the tip of every lit cigarette
And it ate me with all the buriеd silent hurt of neglect
It was bеnding and breaking me, but I couldn’t explain
Why the hell was all this happening, again and again
And when the storm behind the window made me wanna cry out my eyes
When you were with me yet so far away, I felt paralyzed
And that’s when I felt so weak and unable to ask why would you never care
‘Cause I already knew the answer, and didn’t want to hear it and despair
Here it comes, it comes, it comes to take me
It comes to drag me away, away, away
Here it comes, it comes, it comes to take me
The ghastly shadows fall and rise
They spin their solemn dance, they hypnotize
The raindrops are tapping and hitting home again
An old familiar rhythm on the window pane
Where am I gonna go?
Where am I gonna get?
What will I have to get through
And where will I eventually end up?
The storm beyond the grief drowns the confusion and clears the way
I know I gotta ride this out to move on, but not to stay
It comes from somewhere
And I know from where
It’s trying to pull me under
To steal me, to kill me
So tired and jaded, I’m tattered and torn
But stronger than I thought and newly reborn
The touchy-feely thing grows thinner with every breath that I take
For god’s sake! Is it true? Am I even awake?
Gimme the truth, I wanna get stronger without getting killed
At what price? Nowhere to run, so I gotta stand still
I think I’m awakened but less connected than ever
Patrolling the glass wall of isolation just gets better and better
And I know there’s nothing to push it away
It keeps on floating around, each night and every day
The incompassionately quiet, the indiscriminately sad
It’s like the light’s going out on something vital inside
I know where it comes from
And what’s it all for
It’s right in my core
I’ve absorbed it and I know I can’t be scared anymore
It’s now that I welcome aloneness like an old friend that I used to know
Now that I feel so free, I can move on to where I have to go
Here it comes, it comes, it comes to take me
It comes to drag me away, away, away
Here it comes, it comes, it comes to take me
It comes from somewhere
And I know from where
It’s trying to pull me under
To steal me, to kill me
You’ll ride shotgun, my friend
Right to the very end
Transmogrified to transcend
You’re now, my bitch, my shadow
It comes from somewhere
And I know from where
It’s trying to pull me under
To steal me, to kill me
It comes from somewhere
‘Cause I have been there
But now you call shotgun
So thrill me, complete me
You’re not a threat anymore
Transmogrified to transcend
I’ve absorbed you this time, and it’s setting me free
Like never ever before
I can move on, we’re bound together till the very end
You’re gonna be riding shotgun with me
You’re not a threat anymore
Transmogrified to transcend
I’ve absorbed you this time, and it’s setting me free
Like never ever before
I can move on, we’re bound together till the very end
You’re gonna be riding shotgun with me
