Been here before (7x)
Been here before couldn't say I liked itDo I start writing all this down?Just let me plug you into my worldCan't you help me be uncrazy?
Name this for me, heat the cold airTake the chill off of my lifeAnd if I could I'd turn my eyesTo look inside to see what's comin'
Pre:It comes alive (3x)And I die a little moreIt comes aliveEach moment here I die a little more
Chorus 1:Then the unnamed feelingIt comes alive Then the unnamed feelingTakes me away
Been here before (2x)
I'm frantic in your soothing arms I can not sleep in this down filled worldI've found safety in this lonelinessBut I can not stand it anymore
Cross my heart hope not to dieSwallow evil, ride the skyLose myself in a crowded roomYou fool, you fool, it will be here soon
Pre:It comes alive (3x)And I die a little moreIt comes aliveEach moment here I die a little more
Chorus 2:Then the unnamed feelingIt comes alive Then the unnamed feelingTreats me this wayAnd I wait for this trainToes over the lineAnd then the unnamed feelingTakes me away(Repeat)
Bridge:Get the fuck out of hereI just wanna get the fuck away from meI rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hateI hate it all, why? Why? Why me?
I cannot sleep with a head like thisI wanna cry, I wanna screamI rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hateI wanna hate it all away
(Return to Chorus 2)
