The Cave We Fear to Enter
As I Lay Dying
Our secrets are what make us lonely
When no one else knows the weight we carry
All I see and all I know is pain (pain)
All I see and all I know is
All I see and all I know is pain (pain)
All I see and all I know is
Paralyzing fear prevents
Into the unknown we must step
The cave seems more like an abyss
But inside is everything we've missed
All our blind spots brought to light
And every demon we've tried to fight
What becomes of the pain
That dwells so deep it can't be seen?
Who can show the path from shame
To make you believe you're not to blame?
So once again we want to run away
Far from everything that we love
Safe from facing all we're carrying
The cave we fear to enter
All I see and all I know is pain (pain)
All I see and all I know is
Going further into the abyss
We uncover life's fullness
Recovering what dwells in the deep
The darkest corners no longer mystery
Uncharted, the unexplored
Undiscovered, stranded in the void
What becomes of the pain
That dwells so deep it can't be seen?
Who can show the path from shame
To make you believe you're not to blame?
So once again we want to run away
Far from everything that we love
Safe from facing all we're carrying
The cave we fear to enter
Lay to rest the memories (memories)
That hold you down
Paralyzing fear prevents
Into the unknown we must step
The cave we fear to enter
No one else knows
Hidden like a ghost
Our past torments (our past torments)
Will bury us (will bury us)
Will bury us
So once again we want to run away
Far from everything that we love
Safe from facing all we're carrying
The cave we fear to enter
Lay to rest the memories (memories)
That hold you down
Lay to rest the memories
In the cave we fear to enter
All I see and all I know is pain (pain)
All I see and all I know is
All I see and all I know is pain
All I see and all I know is
