CAVE IN LYRICS

1. Luminance

Magnetic tapes are old bloodstreams
For this recording machine.
We're serving all the jaded hearts
Of those without a place to start.
And washing them of all mistake;
Ill confidence could never fake
The notes and bolts that ring this song:
Expired tales of love gone wrong.

Why do I stay the same?
Why do I hear your name
On every street, on every path?
Luminance.

Why do I hear your name?
Why do I feel the same
In every dream I ever have?
Luminance.

Standing in a freezing place beyond,
Until your heart has stopped its chime.
Branded with an order number,
And washing them of all mistake.

[Instrumental]

3. Magnified

["Failure" cover from album Magnified]

I'll show you a trick with
ants when
The sun's high in the sky
we can
Burn them up to crispy
black shells
See them crunched by
old, slow, slick snails

Light the fuse inside the
dead bird
Feather flurries rain on
our heads
Empty nest with three
small brown eggs
We'll think of something
before the night falls

Don't hurt a fly
they all sang
Don't rape a girl
in bright may
Don't kill anyone ever
Lay still and stand
this fever

The sun's just
A big glass
We're all ants
I love you

4. Burning Down The Billboards

We are here, we were there,
We are nearing people everywhere we go.
People catching in their hands
The ashes of the Marlboro man.

Burn them down, burn them down
With our canteens pouring gasoline;
It's never what they're saying
But why oh why they say it.
Burning down the billboards
To the ground and not a sound
Will touch the ears,
For the sights to be gained
Will everlast us through the years.

Five o'clock rush hour traffic
Gazing upward at our magic.
Calvin Klein went down in flames,
Authorities aren't asking for the names.
Miller Lite was burning bright,
Illuminating our fearless night
And victory was once again
Ours until the very end.

Burn them down, burn them down
With our canteens pouring gasoline;
It's never what they're saying
But why oh why they say it.
Burning down the billboards
To the ground and not a sound
Will touch the ears,
For the sights to be gained
will everlast us through the years.

Burning down the billboards
To the ground and not a sound
Will touch the ears,
For the sights to be gained
Will everlast us through the years.

5. Sonata Brodsky

[Instrumental]
