"The Escapist" lyrics

"The Escapist"

Who's there knocking at my window?
The owl and the dead boy
This night whispers my name
All the dying children

Virgin snow beneath my feet
Painting the world in white
I tread the way
To lose myself into a tale
Come hell or high water
My search will go on
Clayborn Voyage
Without an end

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby

Journey homeward bound
The sound of a dolphin calling
Tearing off the mask of man
The Tower my sole guide
This is who I am
Escapist, paradise seeker
Farewell, time to fly
Out of sight, out of time, away from all lies

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze

A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
It all starts with a lullaby
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life

A nightingale (Come someone make my heavy heart light)
(Come undone, bring me back to life)
In a golden cage (Come someone make my heavy heart light)
(Come undone, bring me back to life)
