Cave - Myelin

Shining down, headlights flood in through windows nailed shut.

They light up

things that are best kept hidden

You were staring down at your hands, while I watched the dust falling from

footsteps up above

You know I hate it

You know I hate it

You know I hate it, when we push it all under the mattress

And I know you hate it

I know you hate it

I know you hate it when your mind and legs are restless

We are caged animals down here

We are caged animals down here

We are caged animals down here, waiting to die

So sick of the plaster over cracks

Of the paint over the damp

Of lights that burn bright just to blink out

And all the weight that holds us down

I know you hate it

I know you hate it and you’re tired of riding it out

We are caged animals down here

We are caged animals down here

We are caged animals down here, waiting to die
