Underway Cavern

 


“hide my secrets, hide my soul”

oh she is just a lonely candle


shining her light at the base of the path

that is blocked up by each individual

till one chooses to face this world’s wrath

till one chooses their own life to channel


into the orb that is small

into a body so small

into the crack in the wall

into a pain very real.


oh, it is only a game!

oh, it is only a body so lame!


oh, it is hard to have fun!

oh, it is hard to accept everyone!


hide my secrets, hide my fear

oh, but it had such a warm veneer!

oh, how i wanted to just disappear

hide my secrets, hide my soul.
