Escape en 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...
