The Release
--- "The Release" Taken from the Marillion single "Easter" ---

The alarm by the bed wrings the dreams from my head
It's a new day
Leave the flakes in the bowl. Milk unopened. I'm gone.
But I'm still late...
Join the fight for a cab
Take our place in the jam
And watch the clock again

There's a man in my head
I think he came from the screen... or the bible
All he wants for me is to be strong
But I seem unreliable

You know it gets so hard
When everything you are
Is everything you don't want to be

But at the end of the day
You're the one who burns it all away

So won't you show me those pictures you hold in your head
And can you lose me somewhere inside them all
Because there are colours that run through the heart of me
That only you can see

[STEVE HOGARTH]
