Soma Lyrics

Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you
And she led me on, down
With secrets I can't keep

Close your eyes and sleep
Don't wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me

Wrapped my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart

So now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone caught in our ruse of fools

One last kiss from me...yeah
One last kiss good night

Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfilled a promise made of tin
And crawled back to you

I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray myself
To anyone, lost, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me, yeah
Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah
When god sleeps in bliss

And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone

Soma

Soma means "body" in Greek. It was the name of a drug in the 1932 Aldous Huxley novel Brave New World.

A true breakup song, lead singer Billy Corgan had just split with his girlfriend Christine Fabian when he wrote it (they later married and then got divorced). This song describes how Corgan was feeling after the breakup.

Mike Mills of R.E.M. played piano on this song.
