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
