Escape - Mind.In.A.Box

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…
