CAVE IN LYRICS

1. Stained Silver

Pop culture with a pin
Watch it wheeze in the air like a dying balloon
A mistake dawned on me
And the rest of my tribe: "Your wish is our command"
No really, it's OK
Give yourself a group hug and a pat on the back
No really, it's alright
Pose your best for a shot from the firing squad

Choosing my defence
I'll stay on the fence

Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
Raiding tomorrow's prayers with a stained silver bullet
Oh how it kills me waiting to follow through
On a dare

Pop culture with a pill
Watch it make all the worms in your mind disappear
Maybe so, maybe not
Never sure if it's me underneath a white sheet
Halloween Halloween
With a mask I can be your new friend for a while
Trick or treat, trick or treat
There's a razorblade inside your candy bar

Choosing my defence
I'll stay on the fence
Choosing my defence
I'll stay on the fence

Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
Raiding tomorrow's prayers with a stained silver bullet
Oh how it kills me waiting to follow through
On a dare, dare
Choosing my defence
I'll stay on the fence

Pop culture on your skin
You cannot keep your fingers away from your face
Memories are haunting me
Like fish floating dead at the top of a tank

Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven
Raiding tomorrow's prayers with a stained silver bullet
Oh how it kills me waiting to follow through
On a dare, dare

Choosing my defence
I'll stay on the fence
On a dare, dare
On a dare, dare!

2. Inspire

A vase of wilted flowers
For those of you who've lost their powers
No use in treading water
Where there's no air to breathe in

Help me find a way to move on
Standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you (you you), help you find me
Now who inspires you?

Her moods are so abrasive
The sound is too persuasive
Curve of the earth has gone straight
Shall we go on one last date?

Help me find a way to move on
Standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you (you you), help you find me
Who inspires you?
Who inspires you?
Who inspires you?
Who inspires you?

I'm sorry to inform you
Sometimes love can deform you
No time for hesitating
Her rifle is cocked and waiting, cocked and waiting
Aimed at me

Help me find a way to move on
Standing in the way of the sun
Help me find you (you you), help you find me
Now who inspires you?
Who inspires you?
Who inspires you?

3. Joy Opposites

He loves to hate; she hates to love
And all of the above
His dirty mind; she just stays clean and sober

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colours that surround you

She's on the fence; he's on the ground
Laid out face down
She takes so long; he's hanging on forever

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colours that surround you

Any sign of life you might want to share with me tonight?
Any sign of life you might want to share with me tonight?

He's always lost; she knows the way
Softly he'll say "Can you bring me at your pace?"
Bring me at your pace

True romance in joy opposites always is the case
When you only enjoy taking on all the colours that surround you

True romance, true romance, true romance after all
True romance, true romance, true romance after all

True love in joy opposites always is the case

4. Anchor

Whatever makes you tired the resting always fails
'Cos anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails
Whatever you exhale I breathe it in the end
You offer me a seat in your electric chair

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So pull me in

Every day you ask yourself, "Why was I born?"
'Cos every migrane feels like wearing a crown of thorns
And all the time I find you crawling on all fours
'Cos any movement sends you falling through trap doors

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So pull me in

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So pull me in

No tongue in cheek
To late it's already days and weeks
Before we can make ends meet
Am I right and you're wrong?
Too late it already takes too long
Too much to be flushed with you
Oh
Too much to be flushed with you

Whatever makes you tired the resting always fails
'Cos anywhere you lay yourself's a bed of nails

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So pull me in

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind
You know better than I do
So pull me in
You know better than I do
So pull me in
You know better than I do
So pull me in

5. Beautiful Son

Nothing in his mind, the rent there is much too high
It doesn't make him want to occupy this life
Hiding all the things he prays the world won't find
Still it makes him run away so paranoid

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

Nothing in his mind but childhood memories
It doesn't make him want to live those years again
Hair is finally growing back over his wounds
Still it makes him want to hurt the ones he loves

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

So the future never came while past is just the same
Though we both know you'll go far when you discover who you are, who you are

Still on a mountain peak of anger, well...
All that he can do is yell
To all of us down far, far below
But we all know

Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone
Beautiful son, without your guns, you'd be someone

6. Seafrost

Dreaming lightly on your own
I wouldn't mind you being alone
Nothing here has been the same
Ever since this winter came
Seized the engine in my heart
And the cold could break my soul apart
Frozen on my knees I pray
Love will melt this all away
Dreaming lightly on my own
I wouldn't mind to be alone

I'm freezing [X4]
Freezing

Dreaming lightly on your own
I wouldn't mind you being alone
Thought I may have spoke too soon
Now confusion fogs the moon
Dying for a yes or no
Life is full of maybe so
Anything to break the ice
Love would more than just suffice
Dreaming lightly on my own
I wouldn't mind to be alone

I'm freezing [X7]
Freezing

Dreaming lightly on your own
Dreaming lightly on my own
Dreaming lightly on my own
Dreaming lightly on my own
Dreaming lightly on your own

My own, my own, my own, my own, my own yeah
On your own, On your own
I'm freezing
Freezing
Freezing

Love would more than just suffice
Dreaming lightly on my own
I wouldn't mind to be alone
I'm freezing
I'm freezing
I'm freezing
I'm freezing

7. Rubber And Glue

She's rubber and I am glue
She had a lot to say and stuck it to my brain
She is recovered and I am screwed
She had a lot to say and I'll take it to my grave

If I could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers altogether for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse
Towards the way-back of my skull
Over and over and over again

She had a lot to say
Came by to water my flower bed
Oh what a big mistake, it rains here everyday
Damage-needle pinned to red
She had a lot to say and I'll take it to my grave

If I could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers altogether for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse
Towards the way-back of my skull
Over and over and over again

This is more side effect than I expect
That boy is so glum
This is more side effect inside this wreck
That boy is so numb

If I could make all of my words count
I'd ditch numbers altogether for sure
Voice reversed yelling a curse
Towards the way-back of my skull
Over and over and over again

She had a lot to say, to say
She had a lot to say, to say
Say, she had a lot to say

8. Youth Overrided

Voices keep me small and tongue-tied to the wall
Breast-fed by the moon, I've grown up too soon

Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?

Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying say

Don't you dare tell me-I cannot be made to believe
That the rings under my eyes
Are really blessings in disguise

Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?

Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying say

All these memories bailing out on me
Gone into the void
God must need them more anyway
All these memories bailing out on me
Gone into the void
God must need them more anyway

Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying say

Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?

9. Breath Of Water

It's time to tell the truth
To anyone who cares to know
What brought him to this point
Curled up into a ball
They stole the only things that could break his fall

Almost out of air, far beyond repair, doomed
Time is wearing thin, the Technicolor is gone
See it all numb in black and white

So now please it's your last drop of air
So now breathe and take your very first breath of water
Allow yourself just one breath of water
Allow yourself this one last breath

He ran away from home
Leaving a trail so friends could hunt
And find him in the snow
But a scent is not enough
And we're sure he's barely strong enough
To survive the cold

Almost out of air, far beyond repair, doomed
Time is wearing thin, the Technicolor is gone
See it all numb in black and white

So now please it's your last drop of air
So now breathe and take your very first breath of water
Allow yourself just one breath of water
Allow yourself this one last breath

I'd rather spare the truth
From anyone who cares to know
Exactly how we found him
But it's time to share the truth
With anyone who carelessly
Goes out too deep alone

so now

mmm breath of water
allow yourself this one breath of water
allow yourslef this one
allow yourslef this one
allow yourslef this one last breath

water,breath of water
breath of water
water,water,water
breath of water

10. Lost In The Air

Radar, you lost me
An impossible disguise
Men all around are searching hard
Nevermind, he's so long and gone
Boy, he's really hard to find!
And by design you know he won't be found
Otherwise he'll crash into the ground

Lifted away
What a day to be lost in the air!

They won't come across me
Hiding in the sky
Cause' nobody walks without their heads
pointed down at the ground in a daze
Well, it's amazing what you'd find
And by design you know I won't come down
Otherwise I'll crash into the ground

Lifted away
What a day to be lost in the air!

11. Penny Racer

I finally learned to spit it out
and with that alone I've said too much
cause anything a secret
is willing to be kept that way
you're looking for the truths of mine
they're found in every other line
you're looking for the truths of mine
many is a mood of mine

Penny Racer gone to mars in flames
ready as ever to survive

well everyones an editor
trying to get a read on me
the less complete a sentance is
the more I guess I tried to say
you're looking for the truths in mine
they're found in every other line
you're looking for the truths in mine
many is a mood of mine

Penny Racer gone to mars in flames
ready as ever to survive

we'll survive

Everything's a problem
is that why everybody answers all at once?
Everything's a problem in my mind
so why, so why make it any harder on me?
we'll make you make it, make you make it alright

Penny Racer gone to mars in flames
ready as ever to survive
we'll survive

12. Woodwork

My Roman numeral came
As "one" and "I" are both the same
She curves just like the wick
Of a burning candle's dancing flame
These vultures were in love,
Always circling high above
Picked each other apart,
Hungry for the other's heart

Real fun, let's all underachieve

Failed to dispel the myth
Every time is always ending with
The sharp end of a star
Stabbing me right through my heart
She's gone and I'm beyond
A color scheme of loneliness
Now my Roman numeral is lost
As "one" and "I" are now divorced
Your wishes are my command

Real fun, let's all underachieve

Crawling out of rotted woodwork
It stings to breathe
When I don't even know what to do with myself

Real fun, let's all underachieve

13. Day Trader

You wished all the best for me
The best of bad luck that I'll ever need
Keeping money in your shoes so you look really tall
After reading the fine print,
I know why it looks so small
Cashing in day trader, cash in all that you own

The more that you give, the more I can live

I know that I'm very concerned in making sure
my dunce cap fits my head snug
As for public figures, once you figure them out
Everybody's interest seems a little beyond your own
Cashing in day trader, cash in all that you own

The more that you give, the more I can live
