CAVE IN LYRICS

1. Perfect Pitch Black

[Instrumental]

2. The World Is In Your Way

It's out of reach, a needle in the hay
And like a leach, it's always here to stay
So make the speech, no one dares to say
But if you preach, the world is in your way, the world is in your way

Still you stare and pray at suns, they'll burn your eyes, red
Picking, pulsing, you're preaching
It's hell to pay, now, now
You're pissing off the world now, you're pissing off the world now

And if I lead, no one's in my way
And I won't bleed for an innocent charade
So take your needs and throw them all away
Cause if you bleed, the world is in your way, the world is in your way

Still you stare and pray at suns, they'll burn your eyes, red
Picking, pulsing, you're preaching
It's hell to pay, now, now
You're pissing off the world now, you're pissing off the world now

Now, now you're pissing off the world now
You're pissing off the world now

The world is in your way
The world is in your way
The world is in your way
The world is in your way
(It's hell to pay, now)

3. Off To Ruin

Take a breather and I'll explain
It's a wager that surely wins
As you heed the call of the 'be all, end all'
With a needle and threaded pin

And it calls your name
And it kills me, too
Now your ???

It's a coating I need to shed
But the pain will go underfed
So you freeze in your tracks
And your reasoning cracks
And the waves will hang lower than low ???
But the needle is slow
The disease will then grow
Underneath and underground
When you scream there's not a sound
And away you go off to ruin

Blood will flow, my dear friend
Dim the lights into perfect pitch black
My conscience pulled me aside
Don't invite yourself into that world

What surprises are still in store?
What arises from in your core?
No, the demons won't talk
Til you finally unlock
And away we go off to ruin

4. Trepanning

Taking our names, freeze the appraise
We won't die this way
Dig through the dirt
We'll bury your words in the earth

We saw through the flaws, gutted them out
Placing us in tune
We're sick of this shit
So swallow your spit
Go fuck yourselves

Chew them up
Spit them out
Feed them to the wolves

You pulled the trigger in
We hurried up to wave
Oh, oh, trepanning us all

Taking our names, freeze the appraise
We won't die this way
Dig through the dirt
We'll bury your words in the earth

We saw through the flaws
Gutted them out
Placing us in tune
We're sick of this shit
So swallow your spit
Go fuck yourselves

Chew them up
Spit them out
Feed them to the wolves

You pulled the trigger in
We hurried up to wave
Oh, oh, trepanning us all

We're going over the cliff together
This time I'll hold my breath

To the edge of the pit
Till the blood is shed

I will be watching you plunge
to your death

5. Paranormal

Moonlight comes through the shades now
Moonlight comes through the shades now
Cuts on in through the darkness
I can't say that I like this
Ghosts are free to parade now
Ghosts are free to parade now
Only making themselves known to me when I'm all alone

is he as slowly
Lost most of pain
Take all those faces with me

Not since a liar
Paranoid minds
What I only need is sleep

I'll pretend to be dead now
I'll pretend to be dead now
To myself I'm repeating
"Seeing isn't believing"
Ghosts are free to parade now
Ghosts are free to parade now
Only making themselves known to me when I'm all alone

These apparitions
Myriad dreams
Chill in my spine, so cold

Death reeks of ...
Dwelling in sweat
You can't kill something that's already dead

6. Down The Drain

I know why the writing on her face appears,
Because she can't say
All the things on her mind
Everyday she begs me
"Please, oh please you have to understand
And read between all of the lines"

Time goes down the drain, time goes down the drain
Love can be the same

Every morning, she's afraid to wash her face
Because she knows that no one
Could then read her mind
So instead, she passes all her time
By always making sure
That the writing is catching your eyes

Time goes down the drain, time goes down the drain
Love can be the same

When I try to kiss her pretty face,
She always shies away
And says, "Some of the ink isn't dry"
And I try so hard to sympathize,
But really all I know is that if I can't have her, I'll die

Time goes down the drain, time goes down the drain
Love can be the same

Then one day she looked into the mirror,
only to discover all that she read was a lie
Then she turned to me and said
"My love, I can't decide if I'm going dyslexic or blind"

7. Droned

Knocked me on my head, capturing my child
Then you let me run off into the wild
I thought it was a birthmark, and it looked kinda nice
I didn't know it was your tracking device

If I'm still awake, then shake me back to sleep
It's just a nervous tick, well you won't hear a peep
And so I saw a memory crawling on my brain
I couldn't think it off, so I dreamed it never came

You're made of, you're made of
You're made of something, something undefined
You're made of, you're made of
You're made of something, something I can't find

I know all eyes are on me now
I know all eyes are on me now
So let's make it a show
Let's make it a a show

And so I saw a memory crawling on my brain
I couldn't think it off, so I dreamed it never came

You're made of, you're made of
You're made of something, something undefined
You're made of, you're made of
You're made of something, something I can't find

You're made of, yeah, you're made of
You're made of something, something I can't find

8. Ataraxia

[Instrumental]

9. Tension In The Ranks

Tension in the ranks is what I feel
Another 'please' and 'thanks' for you, my dear
So nice to meet you
I'm so sad to see you go

Tension in the ranks is what I see
Trickle through the banks into the sea water
And oh well, it was too bad to see you down

Tension in the ranks is where it ends
Captured by the ones who killed my friends
If you should leave them to release me
Well, you're ...

10. Screaming In Your Sleep

In his heart he's so serene
Will it show, what's it mean?
In real life he's still in bed
Unaware of the scene

Hey, open up your eyes and awake

Someone then gave up the ghost
Was it you, was it me?
I'll just lay here on the floor
In a daze, as I dream

Hey, open up your eyes and awake

This is where he lost control
So it looks like, so it seems
Now he's off and gone to sleep
Say goodbye to his dreams

You're screaming in your sleep again
