Escape

I awakened in the city to utter darkness.

I was running for hours and hours

through deserted streets.

between all those towers,

there was only rain -- only the rain.

I went through doors, I scoured the alleys.

in the rain I climbed ridges.

I walked over bridges, but there was no one there.

I felt deaf, although my hearing was fair.

but there was only silence.

not even the rain...

there must be more.

I need you to quell my fears.

I've felt it before.

I need you to shed my tears.

the things I adore.

I need you to feel my pain.

I'm trapped like before.

I need you to stop the rain.

I've cast myself into a prison,

with bonds near impossible to break.

I thought my life is built on reason,

but now I know I've got to escape.

I've depraved myself of all I had,

and thought I need to for my own sake.

I didn't think I would be so sad,

but without you I cannot escape.

not even the rain...

deep in my heart,

I want you to pull me back.

I've kept us apart,

I want you to fix my wreck.

awake with a start,

I want you to enter my mind.

to re-cast my part,

I want you to follow me blind.

I've cast myself into a prison,

with bonds near impossible to break.

I thought my life is built on reason,

but now I know I've got to escape.

I've depraved myself of all I had,

and thought I need to for my own sake.

I didn't think I would be so sad,

but without you I cannot escape.

escape, it's not there!

not even the rain...
