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
