SOMETHING WICKED

Loving Hating Hoping Faking I've been digging through the dirt that was left behind I've been drudging through the mud for it There's nothing that's alive or dead inside In you, or in this The crucifix in my hand's a lie 'Cause nothing ever kills you I've water down the pain till the well went dry So pray for rain And it gnawed Rose to the top again Back like a long-lost friend A wretch that I can't defend Oh my God Is this where the dreamer ends? Dark where the light had been Lost at the war within And it clawed Back in the world again Here for a new revenge An enemy I can't condemn Oh my God Is this where the liar ends? Dark where the light had been Lost at the war within Out of myself, I can feel it crawling How can I tell if this is the ending? Out of myself, it began evolving I am not well, repent I'm guilty How can I tell if the sky is falling? How can I fix what there is no mending? How can I tell if I am not well? I've lost myself I have come undone And all of the horses And all of the men Won't put it back in place Or bury it where it had been When all of the forces Have been overrun You'll whisper, serpent tongue What you fear, you have become Something wicked this way comes Something wicked this way comes
