Lyrics Escape to the Unknown - K Rino

Escape to the Unknown

I realised that I was in a small compartment, minimal in size
I wanted to go back to sleep but then I noticed I was trapped in deep and my
limbs, even though they were intact were weak
The place had no electricity
Plus I couldn’t see due to its natural limited visibility
I’m suffering man cause I ain’t trusting this place
I can hear folks on the outside discussing my fate
And my initial thought was, «Where's the phone?»
But as
I glanced over to my left I found out that I wasn’t in there alone
Another guy was laid out on the other side, now I’m nervous
Thinking, «What happened?
Maybe this brother died»
If this is true then there’s a chance I might be next to lose it
So I nudged him with my hand just to check for movement
And then he popped up, which startled and appalled me
He started yelling and panicking, asking me, «Where are we?»
I said, «I have no idea, I was stuck when I woke
But whoever’s responsible for this abducted us both»
He looked suspicious, I told him I had no reason to lie
I asked his name, he said, «I don’t know», I said «Neither do I»
Now we had to escape, somehow we were cast in this place
Now I’m drawing a mental blank, it’s like my past was erased
I told him, «Calm down, relax, I know your mind is in doubt
But if we put our heads together we can find a way out»
We started searching, but still we saw no traces at all, we looked to find
something we could use to break through the wall
We saw nothing, now we’re kicking and punching to no avail
This is either a potent spell or we’ve been forced to go to Hell
If there’s a way in, there’s a way out and I’ll prove it’s a fact
He was losing his composure and I knew he would crack
A day passed and I heard those same voices again
A combination of panicked women and boisterous men
They mentioned me and the other guy and those among us cried
They said, «In order for one to survive then one must die»
Right then I knew we had to make it out, no matter the cost
Knowing the life of one of us was to be shattered and lost
As I started devising a plan, I quickly realised that this man
Was sliding up beside me, rising his hand
He was attacking me at any open spot he’d see
He said, «If one of us gotta die it will not be me»
I said, «If we get right to the source no life will be lost»
I was trying to talk him out of it while fighting him off
He wasn’t hearing it, he fought me while I’m lending him help
I soon stopped talking and started defending myself
An alliance had gone bad after I thought it was good, I grabbed him round the
neck and started squeezing hard as I could
The future life span would be granted to the tougher man
As we scuffled and waged war to gain the upper hand
Over and over again the commotion would go and then
I heard a person on the outside, «Tell him I’m going in»
After that, we wasn’t fighting and choking no more
We were anxiously waiting for them to open the door
Hoping to score freedom for both, like I told him before
Maybe these people are the ones who’ve been provoking this war
So I suggested making some plans to break and advance
Since we know they’ve got a plot, I’m down for taking a chance
He said, «Cool, we’ll just team up together instead»
But when the wall opened he struck me in the back of the head
I fell backwards and bled, questioning what happened and scared
Wondering if the final sentence of my chapter was read
Somehow inside the room an overflow of pathogens spread
Then they snatched me from the entrance of the trap when he fled
I heard him laugh then I blacked out and woke up strapped to a bed
Noticed the guy who fought so hard not to be captured was dead
But there was something different about him, his height and his face
Neither one of us were the same size that we were in the place
I was fearing for my life but there was no one to call
When I saw the peoples whose voices I heard through it all
They were talking about the other guy and sad that he’d died
And how his body wasn’t strong enough to live, though they tried
I didn’t understand what went wrong, I feared as I waited
They must have done something to kill him because I saw that he made it
After he hit me I thought I would be the one to be doomed
I realised we wasn’t in a room, it was really a womb
And so again the saga comes down to a cynical end
The guy that died was my brother, my identical twin
And we were both little babies, this I couldn’t comprehend
Cause on the inside, somehow we saw each other as men
And as I laid there, I looked up and I saw people staring
It was a nurse some family members and one of my parents
And the struggle that we was having was to come to the Earth
But unfortunately he was sick and died in his birth
And sadly his demise helped me become what I was to be
They knew that only one would make it and somehow it was me
And even though he tried to take me out I thanked him indeed
Because I learned that unification is stronger than greed
Would he have made it if we stayed together?
No one can say
But what took place on that day, no one knows it but K
