Escape Lyrics

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...
