Why are you
Always alone
And no one's ever there
The late nights
And bitter strifes
Nobody seems to care
Like you're walking
In a valley
And the world is flying high
The sunshine
Is a fantasy
And you'll never see the sky
Because you're stuck in a cave
With no way to get out
No matter which path you take
Every way's the wrong route
There's a creature awaiting
Behind every reflection
There's a monster that's lurking
With each new recollection
Of memories boiling
In the black lake inside
In an underground cave
Where they seem safe to hide
But the searchers are searching
The lights flood the waters
So blend in or jump in
The memory falters...
It's fading away and there's not much to do
Can't risk being discovered
No, don't give them a clue
The brightness engulfs all
There's no options worth taking
So leap and then drown
In the memories breaking
