I still remember those flashing bright lights,
But I came to find no big city in sight.
No super trouper to shine down on me...
Darkness and silence: what does it all mean?
I can remember a surge of road rage
All over me after I left the stage.
I sped through the night and I only saw red.
I'm not dead, I can't be dead, but I know I am dead.
I don't know where I am now, but I know where I've been.
I'm sure it's not the time for me to leave the scene.
I know where I must be, but I don't know what to do.
I wish I knew what is this place wherein I'm coming to.
Mozart played on the radio: was that a sign?
I was hurrying home and I crossed the line.
Lost in Requiem's waves, I loosened my grip
And my journey to you turned into my last trip.
I have no faith and it's too late to pray.
I'm not not too young to die and not too old to play.
By playing my songs I may still win this game
If only I could remember your name
I don't know where I am now, but I know where I've been.
I'm sure it's not the time for me to leave the scene.
I know where I must be, but I don't know what to do.
I wish I knew what is this place wherein I'm coming to.
It's not a dream, not a broken string:
I sure ain't one of those substances-addled fiends,
Although they say I always thrive on strife.
But what is this place where we go to after life?
It's a place like no other I've been to before.
I hear footsteps approaching, so there must be a floor,
And if someone came in, I can find a way out -
Only I hear no echo when I try and shout.
I start to see something through the mist in my mind
And recall all the faces that I left behind.
I recall you, I love you, I don't know how to call you,
But I'm sure I should get back to you after all.
I don't know where I am now, but I know where I've been.
I'm sure it's not the time for me to leave the scene.
I know where I must be, but I don't know what to do.
I wish I knew what is this place wherein I'm coming to.
And now I'm coming to.
But what's it coming to?
Where am I coming to?
I'm coming home to... who?
