I counted the seconds
As they passed me by like hours
Avoiding contact with the world
That seeks to find me
Somehow they've found a way
Of making me their firing range
The tragedy has just begun
Now we must pay for what they've done
They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason
Turning in this vicious groove
I have fallen into
My father my government
Forgot me when I was a child
Someday when I am stronger
I'll find my way across the room
And open up the door they've closed
I am so afraid of what they've done
They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason
Outside my window lies
The promise of my freedom
I searched and found no sanctuary
To shelter my exposure to the rain
Time was gaining on me
I ran as fast as I could
The fever came to fast
Infected with tomorrow
Sometimes it seems to me
This is all we are meant to be
Is there anyone above
To make them pay for what they've done
They came for me today
I found no escape
They're coming to rescue me
From your disgrace
Why did they discard
The embryo's contract
It was never easy to pretend there was a reason
Outside my window lies
The promise of my freedom
I searched and found no sanctuary
To shelter my exposure to the rain
