There Is No Escape

Sitting pretty on a Saturday afternoon

There were clouds in my mind there were birds in my heart

All of the pictures that hung in my room

And all of the memories sweeping round in my head

Does anyone realise

Does anyone care

Can anybody hear me

Is anybody there

Is there anybody out there

There were times when I could have run away

But where would I run to where would I stay

All of the hopes

All the visions and dreams

Have just disappeared with the children's screams

And all of the blue skies and all of the grass

Is hidden by concrete the scaffold the glass

Did you cry did you weep

Did you lose any sleep

Did you leave it behind

Or did you get to save you mind

You can hope you can pray

For an easier way

But

One jail without the chains stays

There is no escape

Solitude is a virtue or so I'm told

I guess it's like the story of the rainbow's gold

All of the decisions and all of the dread

And all of the games being played in my head

Does anyone realise

Does anyone care

Can anybody hear me

Is anybody there

Is there anybody out there
