This Is The Light

i had a dream that i woke up in a sweat another self-inflicted nightmare i will not forget i felt a light i saw you shine something's wrong i felt that tremor in my soul that memory one last time this is the light this is the way where the darkness keeps the sun away this is the light this is the way this stream of memories that carries me away i know my head at least i thought i did i'd take a silver bullet through my soul if i could give this phantom friend this runaway train of thought somebody's been following me through every trial i've ever sought never sought these tears leave scars as they run down my face i'm changing i'm leaving now i'm leaving for a better place
