Caves
[Verse One]
I'm caught
Somewhere in between
Alive
And living a dream
No peace
Just clicking machines
In the quiet of compazine
The walls caved in on me

[Verse Two]
And she sings
My bird dressed in white
And she stings
My arm in the night
I lay still
Still I'm ready to fight
Have my lungs
But you can't take my sight
And the walls caved in tonight

[Verse Three]
Out here
I watch the sun circle the earth
The marrows collide in rebirth
In God's glory praise
The spirit calls out from the caves
The walls fell and there I lay
Saved
[Chorus]
The walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
The doors got locked for sure
There's no one here but me

[Verse Four]
Beat my body like a rag doll
Stuck your needles in my hip
Said we're not gonna lie
Son you just might die
Get you on that morphine drip
Drip

[Chorus]
The walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
The doors got locked for sure
There's no one here but me

[Verse Five]
I fought a war to walk a gangplank
Into a life I left behind
A window's leading to the past
Think it's time I broke some glass
Get this history off my mind
[Bridge]
And what if we were buried forever
Like the past never happened
And time did not exist for us at all
I think we'd still be traveling together
Through all kinds of weather
Everything's a piece of everyone
As far as I can see

[Chorus]
The walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
The doors got locked for sure
But I see these doors have keys

The walls are caving in
As far as I can see
The walls are caving in
The doors got locked for sure
There's no one here but me

There's no one here but me
