CAVING IN PARTS I and II
Caving In (in alternating 3/3 and 4/6 measure; in the key of D7minor)
In-side my' lonely space---Mmm,
My Dreams have been displaced
Exchanged' for a' prize
That prooved a disdain
Its your spirit that' sub'sides
Traded through compromise
It blows out' the fire with'in
And wears away the rim
The floor is caving in
I, I --- mmm. drowning ag'in....
The floods of the deluge---
Are swiftly rush'ing in
The flo-or's cavin' in
I-mmm. Drown-ing again....
A war of grit' n' grim'---
When 'I' failed to defend.
Behind these' clouded eyes---,
mmm filled with' dispise
Such ima'ges they see--
Painted in the' mind.
The flo-or is cavin' in
I-mmm. drowning a'gain....
I'm on' the' ocean floor---
And do-nt know,how' to' swim!
The floor is caving in
I, I --- mmm. drowning ag'in....
The recourse I then find;
Still fails me in the end.
The flo-or's cavin' in
I, mm Drowning again,
The cur'rent grabbed ahold
And slowly pulled me in
Its all inside a mind--
The' deeper, dis'be'lief
Un'der'neath the disguise
Its' a mes'sage that it pleads
Burning soul as its breathes
Bearing down in its greed
A vile rushing wind
That creeps ever in
Fallin far so fast
A vicious tale spin.
And lo-, I behold
Its, a' stor'y that is told
Find the peace
In--side your--self
or it will tear a hole
CAVING IN (PART II) Key of E flat- 3/6
The floor is caving in
And, You're drowning again
Its all grit and grim
The floor is caving in
And you think you can uphold
That you'll find another road
But when you've fallen so far
It was the only
life you've known
The floor is caving in
You are drowning again
You're on the ocean floor
And you dont know how to swim
The floor is caving in
And slowly sweeping in
A fierce and rushing wind
Has bound you from within
You are you own demise
In strife that clouds your mind
The angst that pours inside
Fades your heart inside.
The floor is caving in
You are drowning again
In a war of flesh and skin
A lowly mess you're in
The floor is caving in
At the center of the spin
A hurricane of lament
The floor is caving in
The floor is caving in
You are drowning again
To the dark of abyss
The floor is caving in
The floor is caving in
You are, drowning again
You are on the ocean floor
But you dont know how to swim
Its all in grit and grim
The floor is caving in
In a tsuami of deluge
That boldy consumes
The fire of the flames
That burn inisde of you
And crumblin' to the ground
Seperating the resound
The despair to abound
Unless you--- rebound.
The floor has caven in
You fell so far within
You curdled your distress
Shattered in the end
The floor has caven in
To lush your strife and then
Washed away your dreams
For a dullen sense--
Too hard to back away
You trapped your heart within
Unless the candle lights a flame
You'll fail in the end
And deep inside youve known
The real truth so clear and bold
And its the seed that youve sown
Your wage for the loan.
Its all in grit and grim
The floor has caven in
Crumbling down to the sin
The dust is settlin',
The bleaming lights have faded,
It was never happiness.
