the cave.

 it's empty in the valley of your heart

the sun, it rises slowly as you walk

away from all the fears

and all the faults you've left behind

the harvest left no food for you to eat

you cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

but i haven't seen the same

i know the shame in your defeat

but i will hold on hope

and i won't let you choke

on that noose around your neck

and i'll find strength in pain

and i will change my ways

i'll know my name as it's called again

cause i have other things to fill my time

you take what is yours and i'll take mine

now let me at the truth 

which will refresh my broken mind

so tie me to a post and block my ears

i can see widows and orphans through my tears

i know my call despite my faults

and despite my growing fears

but i will hold on hope

and i won't let you choke

on that noose around your neck

and i'll find strength in pain

and i will change my ways

i'll know my name as it's called again

so come out of your cave walking on your hands

 and see the world hanging upside down

you understand dependence 

when you know the maker's hand

so make your sirens call

and sing all you want

i will hear not what you have to say

cause i need freedom now

and i need to know how

to live my life as it's meant to be

but i will hold on hope

and i won't let you choke

on that noose around your neck

and i'll find strength in pain

and i will change my ways

i'll know my name as it's called again
