Don't you tear me awake from this chemical day Is it only a half a dream or the life that we don't see? On the darkest nights these rays of light descend to swallow me They show me a better way, but they don't allow me to stay You're a far way from home, not lost or alone It's a shot in the darkness, the calling that calls us away from what we know This ray of light won't blind your eyes away from what we see I had to learn to take the shot, before the shot takes me Take a breath and lay to rest, I know it's trained on me I took a fall and broke the wall, It shot right through me It's a shock to the system, thoughts that break but we'll never miss them Come through like a tidal wave, break And take it all away There is so much time as we duck under covers that don't cover others They seem to fade away, as we plan our great escape You're a far way from home, not lost or alone It's a shot in the darkness, the calling that calls us away from what we know This ray of light won't blind your eyes away from what we see I had to learn to take the shot, before the shot takes me Take a breath and lay to rest, I know it's trained on me I took a fall and broke the wall, It shot right through me
