Mumford & Sons – The Cave
It’s empty in the valley of your heart.
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
away from all the fears
and all the faults you’ve left behind.
The harvest left no food for you to eat.
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see.
But I have seen the same.
I know the shame in your defeat.
But I will hold on hope.
And I won’t let you choke
on the noose around your neck.
And I’ll find strength in pain.
And I will change my ways.
I’ll know my name as it’s called again.
Cause I have other things to fill my time.
You take what is yours and I’ll take mine.
Now let me at the truth
which will refresh my broken mind.
So tie me to a post and block my ears.
I can see widows and orphans through my tears.
I know my call despite my faults
and despite my growing fears.
But I will hold on hope.
And I won’t let you choke.
on the noose around your neck.
And I’ll find strength in pain.
And I will change my ways.
I’ll know my name as it’s called again.
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
and see the world hanging upside down.
You can understand dependence
when you know the maker’s hand.
So make your siren’s call
and sing all you want.
I will not hear what you have to say.
Cause I need freedom now.
And I need to know how
to live my life as it’s meant to be.
And I will hold on hope.
And I won’t let you choke
on the noose around your neck.
And I’ll find strength in pain.
And I will change my ways.
I’ll know my name as it’s called again.
Spray
Don’t pay attention to my tears,
I’m a neurotic and it’s the only way i know how to feel.
The scene of my space defigured by your smell is disrespectful to the ones that live our lives as if no one i there to watch.
He wouldn’t mind if you let your umbrella fall in his way.
But i will, stop comparing us, i’m not him.
He’s the most self centered person i had ever met.
I’m the most mundane girl you could ever meet.
You thought that my sex defined my weakness and fears,
but i’m twice the man that you could ever be.
Don’t give me your sympathies, that doesn’t make you a good person.
You are just two men hidden in the same body waiting to break someones shield.
Strangers
I don’t trust you,
so why are you so important to me?
I don’t believe you,
so why would i die for all of you?
It’s not my intention stopping you from getting closer to me
but every time I hang my coat I see you stalking to take it away from me.
That doesn’t make you irrelevant, you should know it for sure
because every time you stand by my side I lose my sleep and I can not think.
I’m not a stone, I don’t believe you aren’t meant to be.
You are the future, her future, his future, but not mine, I’m sorry to disagree.
You keep collecting the pieces I leave behind like it’s something that I would care
but it’s just a piece, not a trace, and I left it there because I don’t care about the past.
My fingers are sweating when you touch me and I collapse
because i’m afraid you could notice that I don’t mind if you die.
You should ask to all the ones that were here before you cross my path,
I’m not made to be friends with anyone that doesn’t like to live.
I’m in distress for the looks in your eyes.
Not saying a word about the things you should know before we start.
I won’t forget you but you would think I will deny you when I’ll decide
that you are not the ones I wanna take to hell with me when the floor falls.
So I ask again, maybe you could answer me this time:
If I don’t trust you,
why are you so important to me?
If I don’t believe you,
why would i die for all of you?
