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…
