This song is a little different from the other songs of the album, it’s more positive and warm.
The narrator is slowly getting out of his depression, his days are dark and lonely but in time he will find a purpose in life and the darkness will go away.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And a fever that's been haunting me has gone away
Looking through my window
I seem to recognize all the people passing by
But I'm alone and far from home
Nobody knows me
Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness and I'm biding my time
Once I am sure of my task I will rise again
[Guitar Solo]
