Cave In
Album • 2003
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 yourselves 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 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 Stained silver bullet Oh how it kills me waiting to follow through On a dare, dare I'm choosing my defence I'll stay on the fence Pop culture on your skin You cannot keep your fingers away from your face Memories haunting me Like a fish floating dead at the top of a tank Sneak a gun through the gates of heaven Raiding tomorrow's prayers 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 On a dare On a dare On a dare Dare!

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, 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? (You) Who inspires you? (You) Who inspires you? (You) Who inspires you? (You) I'm sorry to inform you Sometimes love can deform you No time for hesitating Her rifle's 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, you, you?

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

Nothing in his mind, the rent there is much too high 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 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 the 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

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 I'm freezing I'm freezing 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 I'm freezing I'm freezing I'm freezing I'm freezing I'm freezing I'm freezing 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

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

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 wanna 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?

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, 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 barely sure he's 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, 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 this one breath of water Allow yourself this one Allow yourself this one Allow yourself this one last breath Water, breath of water Breath of water Water, water, water Breath of water

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!

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 Penny Racer gone to Mars in flames Ready as ever to survive Well everyone's an editor Trying to get a read on me The less complete a sentence is The more I guess I tried to say You're looking for the truths in mine 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 Penny Racer gone to mars in flames Ready as ever to survive Penny Racer gone to mars in flames Ready as ever to survive 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 Penny Racer gone to Mars in flames Ready as ever to survive Penny Racer gone to Mars in flames Ready as ever to survive Penny Racer gone to Mars in flames Ready as ever to survive We'll survive We'll survive We'll survive

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 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 'Cause my Roman numeral's lost As "one" and "I" are now divorced Your wishes are my command Real fun, let's all underachieve Real fun, let's all underachieve Crawling out of rotted woodwork Crawling out of rotted woodwork Crawling out of rotted woodwork Crawling out of And it stings to breathe But I don't even know what to do with myself With myself Real fun, let's all underachieve Real fun, let's all underachieve
