Escape

You sought comfort in a cigarette You sought help in the drink You sought hope in a knife You sought love in giving yourself up You searched and longed and pleaded for an adoration that wasn't yours to keep You looked up Stretching your arm, reaching with your hand For some sort of salvation Even if it came at a price so high The price, of your heart You held on tightly to a thread that was always unraveling It snapped and now all that there is Is to simply fall Just falling, falling, and falling.. You hit the ground, and lie there in your own despair You close yourself off, curling up in silent screaming solitude You hide the quick drip drop of tears The agonizing pain The mocking shame You build up the walls that you come to call friends You shut everything out You left everyone cold.. They tried and tried but you didn't respond to anyone. A silver wall can't save you dear A golden castle will not fill the emptiness you now breath I'll carve this into the wall until you see what is here My time is up.. I have to say good-bye After I'm ripped away After I'm gone After there's nothing left You'll see a ray It'll surround you in a heart- shaped light because even in what you're going through You're not alone. Call my name, (and I'll hold the pieces of your shattering heart together) Call my name, (and I'll sing your song with you) Simply ask me that one question And I'll never leave you.
