Where's the exit?

The clocks are ticking,

Time's awasting,

I'm not asking you to wait,

I'm not asking you to leave,

Just please tell me,

Where's the exit?

Soles running down,

Souls are gonna drown,

I'm not pleading for a chance,

I'm not asking for redemption,

Just please tell me,

Where's my direction?

The Sun is setting,

The fun is ending,

I'm not looking for pity,

I do not want a lift,

Just please tell me,

When may I leave?

All I'm looking for is an exit,

A means of an escape,

A direction for a leaving,

So that I may be at peace,

No longer dead,

Amongst the living.
