The Cave

from Hollow Hearts by Held Under

	/

lyrics

I'm not a perfect man
Not even close
But I made the best for myself
With the hand I was dealt
With the cards that came my way
Lemons to lemonade
Strife to strength
Tears overflow from the eyes of a sinning saint
Hypochondriac with no medicine
No pills, dead eyes, empty promises

And my voice will be heard
When it falls upon deaf ears
It will stir in your heart
Something that they tried to snuff and put out

I'm not a perfect man
Not even close
But I made the best for myself
Cards dealt facedown
Turn them up and challenge the house
All in or all out
No half ways or round a bouts
Its time to make a move
Its time to prove
Theres more to you
Then empty heads and zombie stares
We won't suffocate
Lungs continue to ache
Escape the cave
See the light and change
