The Cave

So as the flowers begin to blossom I feel myself coming out of the costume That I donned last Halloween I feel the winter months are so mean to me And I reflect it, in every scene that I play Spend my nights alone and pray that in the morning I see rays of sunshine amongst the grey But all I get is just more rainy days I like the cave And yeah it's dark but it feels safe and I'm not ready to behave like everyone walking the pavement They're all exposed To the elements and expectations of a life I should be living No I'm ready to thrive so I just stay inside But I keep looking for the rays of sunshine Peering through the cracks for signs, I make it back So I ask a favour of everyone who ever cared Please swear that from time to time you'll let me cross your mind And come and visit the cave and ask me if I'm ready to leave And if I still say no, on your way out as you wrestle through the trees Remove a branch and leave a ray of light To let me know that you'll be back when the time is right And we'll walk out hand in hand when I have won this fight Oh would you be the light to my dark? And could you comfort me and my lonely heart? Oh would you be the light to my dark? And could you pick me up when I fall apart? It's not selfish to work on yourself But I still need your help 'Cause I've been in here for a while And I still need to see you smile And I still need to hear you say that this is gonna' be ok And if it takes more time That's alright 'cause I will make it to the light If you can promise you'll be there If you can promise I can meet you in the fresh air If you can promise I can meet you in the fresh air If you can promise I can meet you
