Been here before (x6) Been here before, couldn't say I liked it Do I start writing all this down? Just let me plug you into my world Can't you help me be uncrazy? Name this for me, heat the cold air Take the chill off of my life And if I could I'd turn my eyes To look inside to see what's comin' It comes alive... It comes alive... It comes alive And I die a little more It comes alive... It comes alive... It comes alive Each moment here I die a little more Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Takes me away Been here before (x6) I'm frantic in your soothing arms I can not sleep in this down filled world I've found safety in this loneliness But I can not stand it anymore Cross my heart, hope not to die Swallow evil, ride the sky Lose myself in a crowded room You fool, you fool, it'll be here soon It comes alive... It comes alive... It comes alive And I die a little more It comes alive... It comes alive... It comes alive Each moment here I die a little more Ooh, I die, I die, I die a little more Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Treats me this way And I wait for this train Toes over the line And then the unnamed feeling Takes me away ...Takes me Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Takes me away ...Takes me away! Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Treats me this way And I wait for this train Toes over the line And then the unnamed feeling Takes me away ...Takes me away! Then the unnamed feeling It comes alive Then the unnamed feeling Takes me away Get the f*ck out of here I just want to get the f*ck away from me I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate I hate it all, Why? Why? Why me? I cannot sleep with a head like this I want to cry, I want to scream I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate I want to hate it all away
