CAVE IN LYRICS

1. Jupiter

the metronome was wrong again
my heart has surely gone and skipped a beat
now the rhythm is all right
and i can understand your point of view

jupiter this city is so bright
the kind of light that spots your eyes with white
jupiter your beauty doesn't mind
to be the center of my universe
jupiter you're seemingly so right for me

your blood is sweet like wine
and until i run out of vine
i'll keep my seat on the edge of your mind
dead in the vine of love
well, visit me in my dreams tonight

i keep my seat on the edge

2. In The Stream Of Commerce

No matter how many times
We paint over these walls
The writing still shines through

In the stream of commerce we're afloat
A thousand washed-up rockers trash the banks.
Oh no.

In the stream of commerce we're afloat
And unafraid to sail a sinking boat
Honestly my hand is on the plug this time
It says here right here on my dotted line

Haste creates waste
Keep your eyes on the road
You might be able to drive
But you're so lucky to be alive

No matter how many times
We paint over these walls
The writing still shines through

In the stream of commerce we're afloat
Miles of red tape have choked us dead
Now it's building like a nasty mold
And everyone can't help but catch the cold

Aah aahh aaahh

All the writing on the wall shines through . . .
All the while we knew.

Haste creates waste
Keep your eyes on the road
You might be able to drive
Now you're so lucky to be alive

3. Big Riff

And we continue to chase the sun
Only to burn up both our hands
And we will find out what's to know...
In warning winds, the truth will blow

You might find I'm feeling all the guilt
Dragging out the hours, all deceived
Both are harmless and haunting to me
Now remember your heroes
As a cancel out zero
Like you were young again

A man you haven't seen in years
Resurrecting your deepest fears
Returns a favor unto himself...
By turning us the other cheek

You're just a coat of red in Hell
Tired of turning us away

You might find I'm feeling all the guilt
And now remember your heroes
As a cancel out zero
You were never the one to break away

Dragging out the hours, all deceived
And now remember your heroes
As a cancel out zero
You were never the one to break free

You turn your eyes to gray
You turn your eyes away
You

You're another coat of red in Hell
Kill this child to make sure I've raised him well

On a concrete road to recovery
'Cause I'm knocking over every cone
In front of me

4. Innuendo And Out The Other

Write a letter to yourself about yourself:
Boring us with every detail
Someday I'd like to land
- as bitter as I am -
Nothing affects me anymore

There's something when all the efforts
You have made are hiding in your room,
While everyone else,
Continues to stand
Exactly
Where I most belong

Innuendo
And out the other

We cast our lines in to an ocean
Of future cluttering its waters
Calling in more than we can swallow

There's something when all the efforts
You have made are hiding in your room,
While everyone else,
Continues to stand
Exactly
Where I most belong

Innuendo
And out the other

5. Brain Candle

hey candy cane brain
pouring like the rain
sweeter than any other pain
I'd even dare name
I kinda sorta need a wind to blow me out
and to control the flame
I kinda sorta need a fuse
to light my brain candle- oh yeah
hey candy cane brain
sugared like the stain, sugared like the stain
keeping her a tasty
flavored flowing vein
don't try
I will do it all for you
never ask me
'how's your brain?'
when I'm down
dying here of thirst
for one dose
of my own
medicine, hey...heeey...ey
I couldn't feel it
how could this be your flame?

6. Requiem

Mourning in the confines of your room by yourself.
Reminded by the bulk of every memoir by yourself.
Clearing out your storage spaces all by yourself.
Remembering the way it always was by yourself.

If I could pull my thoughts together
I could then shake the thought
You might be still breathing
Others I haven't seen in months or years
Are here under a dimming light of circumstance

Mourning in the confines of your room by yourself.
Reminded by the bulk of every memoir by yourself.
Clearing out your strange spaces all by yourself.
Remembering the way it always was by yourself.

Do you feel it's true that you're always doomed
With this migraine, my gain will fade

You're against the grain in the pain of a world
You don't speak a sound or walk around in anymore
Full of silent expectations
No one could have known . . .
So how would I?

Trying to find something
Looking for a whole lot of nothing
And then you found me at your door.
Full of silent expectations
No one could have known . . .
So how would I?

No two reasons have good reasons
Why'd you have to die
Relieve a hundred alibis
Cause no one is surprised

Trying to find a whole lot of nothing
And then you found me.

7. Decay Of The Delay

[Instrumental]

8. New Moon

So I saw the angel girl hang her wings by the door.
tired from the windy chill, guilt had forced her to land.
'I no longer know,' she said.
'the way to fly myself home.'
may it all become familiar to us all
new moon.

she's so vain, she's dreaming of funerals to come.
it's the part of the movie where you can't help
but close your eyes.
a social butterfly retreats back to its cocoon.
surely this will be familiar to us all.
new moon.
hold my gaze.
new moon.
