The Exit Lyrics - Razia's Shadow: A Musical - Forgive Durden

Look at all that which surrounds me 

I'm supposed to call this home 

The dark has become so overwhelming 

So why don't I just go? 

Why can't you just be more like your brother? 

Together you would rule the throne 

Evil and darkness would grow 

This kingdom needs you 

Why can't you just be more like Pallis? They always ask 

Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy? 

As a child I heard such wonderful stories 

Of lamps and the oracle and holy the sea 

Silly boy, you speak of fiction 

Silly boy, you can't just leave them 

Reaching for some fairy tale ending 

Myth or legend 

Oh, what's the use? Well, maybe they're right 

What's the point of dreaming if it can never materialize? 

Townsfolk are ashamed, why can't I live up to my family name? 

Well, it's not me but you see it's just my pedigree 

You're a reckless and romantic rogue 

Your head is in the clouds 

You'll be chained here all your life 

Shackled to the ground 

You're not the chosen one 

Don't you ever dream of some place better 

Or a life that's greater 

Don't you ever feel like you've been destined 

For something bigger than your skin? 

You are so foolish 

The dark has been your home 

If you elope, I'll hunt you down 

Through suffering you'll atone 

Dear Palis, you're my brother 

Youve loved and watched over me 

But there's something bigger at stake 

My purpose is this journey 

Brother, you are shortsighted 

Naive and starry-eyed 

You are not the chosen one 

This will be your demise 

Brother, I can't help this feeling 

My heart tells me to run 

You were meant to rule the dark 

I was meant to see the sun 

Don't you ever dream of some place better 

When the light shines brighter? 

Don't you ever feel like you've been destined 

For something bigger than your skin? 

I think I'll just go 

Adakias, tired of fiction and bound by his ambition 

Left his home for the city of light 

Disguised as a citizen his identity was hidden 

Within in a city that sat glistening 

He was eager for his new life 

He contemplated and hated 

Why had he waited for long 

To flee his home forever shaded 

Where the jaded were never wrong? 

He took a deep breath 

He was finally gone 

His hope was left strong 

That a meaning would be found 

That had kept him withdrawn 

His stare had caught a light 

And he fell for the sight 

Her name was princess Anhura 

She suffered from the same strife 

And like Adakias, she spent most of her time 

Dreaming of a different life 

Don't you ever feel like you've been destined 

For something bigger than your skin?
