The Cave

There’s so much loneliness in everyone around you
I ran away to keep my head from getting cloudy
Oh, I spent some time in a lonely place, but I’m only getting clearer

I need some time to be on my own in a world without a mirror

Tie me up, hold me down
In a cage there’s no unlocking
Leave a mark big enough that the bones fall out the sockets
But you still see me crawling hands and knees coming out through the mouth of the cave
Coming out through the mouth of the cave

I see the creeping of the sun on the horizon
First light is coming and there’s no more need for hiding
I spent some time in a lonely place and I’m only getting higher
The blackness of a broken heart, oh, I found myself a fire

Tie me up, hold me down
In a cage there’s no unlocking
Leave a mark big enough that the bones fall out the sockets
But you still see me crawling hands and knees coming out through the mouth of the cave

Coming out through the mouth of the cave
