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...
