Song Description

A song about clinical depression.

Lyrics

Icy water drips from the ceiling
The floors and walls are cold and damp
The air is heavy with the scent of mold
We huddle for warmth in this makeshift camp
We amuse ourselves by digging shallow graves
But we don't have the energy or nerve to fill them
We've buried our dreams or quietly killed them
We live out our lives alone in the caves

The sun is little more than a legend
Arcs of lightning are all we see
Too hot and too fleeting to embrace
Or catch a glimpse of how life could be
The ill winds tell us how we should behave
We've long given up trying to plug our ears
Time stands still and days grow into years
Lost just inside the entrance of the caves

Sometimes the sunny people come to visit
And ask us why we live this way
Why do you suffer needlessly?
Well here we are forgotten
And here we are unloved
So here we stay because we know
Where you are does not exist

Insulted by the myth that Jesus Saves
When it's obvious he has better things to do
We'd rather wish for death than risk failing you
We live out our lives alone in the caves
Lost just inside the entrance of the caves
We slowly fade away within the caves
