Sophie's Escape

Lyrics: Anand Varghese
lyrics
When the night comes around
Sophie can be found
Throwing all her secrets
To the wind
When there’s no one there
I’ve heard her raven hair
Turns to colors of her
State of mind
But it really makes no difference
If you’re blind or if you see
A window in the wall
Will set you free
As the light of distant stars
Reveals her many scars
That’s when Sophie steps
Into the maze
To cleanse a tired soul
Sometimes broken, whole
Clinging to the light
From brighter days
Sophie can be found
Throwing all her secrets
To the wind
When there’s no one there
I’ve heard her raven hair
Turns to colors of her
State of mind
But it really makes no difference
If you’re blind or if you see
A window in the wall
Will set you free
As the light of distant stars
Reveals her many scars
That’s when Sophie steps
Into the maze
To cleanse a tired soul
Sometimes broken, whole
Clinging to the light
From brighter days
