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...
