Cave In

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

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

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

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:

Inspire


A vase of wilted flowers
For those who've lost their powers
No use in treading water
When 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.. 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.. help you find me
Now 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
Aimed at me

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

Anchor


Whatever makes you tired,
The resting always fails
Cause anywhere you lay yourself
Is a bed of nails
Whatever you exhale, I'm breathing in the air
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 clue me in

And everyday you ask yourself
"Why was I born?"
Cause every migraine feels like wearing
A crown of thorns
And all the time I find you crawling on all fours
Cause 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 clue me in

No tongue in cheek
Too 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 flush with you...

Whatever makes you tired,
The resting always fails
Cause anywhere you lay yourself
Is a bed of nails

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind?
You know better than I do, so clue me in

Are you safe to leave behind
Every anchor in your mind?
You know better than I do, so clue me in..
You know better than I do, so clue me in
You know better than I do, so clue me in

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

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

So the future never came
While the past is just the same
No 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.....

Sea Frost


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..I'm 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's
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..I'm freezing.....................

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 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 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 dumb

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... again
She had a lot to say

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?

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 year
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 year
..

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 year........
..

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?..

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.... breath of water
Allow yourself just one breath of water
Allow yourself this one...... last breath..

Penney 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
Looking for the truths of mine?
They're found in every other line
Still looking for the truths of mine?
Many is a mood, oh my

Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive
We'll survive.........

Everyone is an editor
trying to get a read on me
The less complete a sentence is
The more I guess I tried to say
Looking for the truths of mine?
They're found in every other line
Still looking for the truths of mine?
Many is a mood, oh my

Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive..........

Everything is a problem
Is that why everybody answers all at once?
Everything is a problem in my mind
So why make it any harder on me?
They'll make you make it all right

Penny racer gone to Mars in flames
Ready as ever to survive............

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
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
Real fun, let's all underachieve..
