Dangerous Times

I woke up in a room

Like I always do

Found myself alone

But for the ringing telephone

Screaming into view

There were books

And dead guitars

And a face that looked like you

But it was just a mask

Staring from the past

I put it on

And saw

A vision from my youth

I walked toward the window

And saw something orange and bright

I lifted up the blind and I was

Blinded by the light

Down in some abandoned car

Somebody I once knew

Summoned all the pain

And shouted out your name

They said

This is our second coming

These are dangerous times

They are hard to understand

If you don't' feel it in your heart

You'll never hold it in your hands

These are dangerous times

They are hard to understand

If you don't get it through your head

You'll never hold it in your hands

You are caught in a wave

It's crashed through a building

And it's moving on up

And all the windows are breaking

And the stairs are now hallways

And the hallways are deep, deep holes

And there is 3 feet of air

Til we breath water through our souls'.

So take me by the wrist

Drag me out from all of this

Take me by arms and legs and chest

And rip me from the anger

And take me from my home

My home's become the water

And take me by the hand

As if I'd ever give a damn

I could leave this place right now

And never show my face again
