[Verse 1] They chained me to the floor Face to the flicker Thought that was the world Till I saw it quiver Paint on the stone Calling it a sky I was noddin' along With a half-slept eye You said, "This is it" I said, "Show me more" Been countin' my breaths Since I hit that door [Pre-Chorus] If the wall can talk It can lie If the light too smooth It can blind I feel the chain slack In my mind One step back Then I rise [Chorus] Break the cave Break the cave I don't need the shadow game Break the cave Break the cave Let my eyes learn my name [Verse 2] Now I'm out in the wind With the salt on my tongue Every truth got weight Every lie got one Saw the puppets dance On a trembling sheet Men kiss the shape Then they worship the leak I don't hate the dark I hate the rules Made from fear And sold as jewels So I turn my face To the raw, to the real Even if the sun Makes it hard to feel [Bridge] If I go back now Pull me out again Don't let me sleep Where the chains begin I heard a cold voice say "Stay where it's safe" But safe is a room With no open gate [Chorus] Break the cave Break the cave I don't need the shadow game Break the cave Break the cave Let my eyes learn my name
