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
