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 buried silent hurt of neglect It was bending 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
