lyrics
Shadows flicker, dancing on a wall
Chanting softly, saying you could have it all
Don't you try and turn yourself away
The price you'll pay is life inside the cave
Blind your eyes and deaf your ears
Stay in chains and you will have nothing to fear
Shadows dancing on the wall
Do you believe that this is all?
Turn away, leave the solace of dark pictures
Blinded by the sunlight, shaky in your step
The path is straight ahead
Adjusting just to see it, overwhelming feelings
This is hell, in the cave I'll dwell
Watch and touch to verify the shade
Never stop to contemplate your world's been made up
Distraction shown indoctrinate the youth
Staring at the wall like it's the truth
Fire's roaring, can you feel the heat?
Curing unseen chains keeping you in your seat
Shadows flicker saying don't you fight
Ignore them as you step towards the light
Turn away, leave the solace of dark pictures
Blinded by the sunlight, shaky in your step
The path is straight ahead
Adjusting just to see it, overwhelming feelings
This is hell, in the cave I'll dwell
Ascent to the world of ideas, of form, of perfection
Down the pill of choice, revel in introspection
Break the bonds that hold you
Reveal the world brand new
Step before you fall, have it all, have it all, have it all
Have it all
Turn away, leave the solace of dark pictures
Blinded by the sunlight, shaky in your step
The path is straight ahead
Adjusting just to see it, overwhelming feelings
This is hell, you gotta
Turn away, leave the solace of dark pictures
Blinded by the sunlight, shaky in your step
The path is straight ahead
Adjusting just to see it, overwhelming feelings
The cave was hell, the truth is where we'll dwell
