The Cave

We hear an echo from across the frame
Acoustic shadows interfere with the waves
And all we hear when they arrive are fragments of delay
But someone thinks he heard the sound of a gun
Another thinks he heard a beating drum
But I for one don't think it sounded like either one

I don't know what else i could do
I don't know what else i could say
I don't know how else i can convince you to remain in these chains
We don't know what we'll find out there
We know our world is safe in here
We know all we need to know
Please don't go

Here on the outside as the sunlight stings our face
Through our tears, the path is clear
Here in the sunshine, the divided line retreats
And our fears, they disappear

We start to argue over what remains
Should we keep going or return to the cave
Is this all a trick or a conspiracy to lead us astray
But someone thinks this outer world is hell
Another thinks that it's a prison cell
But I for one just want something good for myself

I don't know what else i can do
I don't know what else i can say
I don't know how else i can make you see that you're in chains
We may not know what waits outside
We may not have a place to hide
But there is so much more to know
Please don't stay

Here on the outside as the sunlight stings our face
Through our tears, the path is clear
Here in the sunshine, the divided line retreats
And our fears, they disappear

Here on the outside as the sunlight stings our face
Through our tears, the path is clear
Here in the sunshine, the divided line retreats
And our fears, they disappear
They disappear
They disappear
