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
