Cave-In - Codeine

Please take a long hard look through your textbook 'Cause I'm history When I strap my helmet on, I'll be long gone 'Cause I've been dying to leave Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change In my bedroom 'Cause riding a dirt bike down a turnpike Always takes its toll on me I've had just about enough of, quote "Diamonds in the rough" Because my backbone is paper thin Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in If the bombs go off, the Sun will still be shining Because I've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining (Though I'm always undermining too deep to know) Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop 'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane Mixed with stale gasoline I'll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground I'll get ten minutes, give or take 'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy When cold integrity keeps me wide awake Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in 'Cause if my thoughts collapse or mind framework snaps It will make a mess Like you wouldn't believe Tie my handle bars to the stars so I stay on track And if my intentions stray, I'll wrench them away Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back I won't even look back

Walk in silence Don't walk away - in silence Danger - always danger Endless talking of life rebuilding Don't walk away - in silence Don't walk away - in silence Walk in silence Don't walk away - in silence Your illusion - my confusion And in the mask of self-hate Confronts itself and then dies Don't walk away - in silence People like you, have it easy Face like the sun - walking on air Haunted by your face, every street, every corner Abandoned too soon Don't walk away - in silence Don't walk away - in silence

Don't you have to speak now? Not just look and half smile All I want's to feel That I'm barely real I feel like string I feel like nothing Who's the silence for now? Can your heart still hold Everything... Untold? I feel like string I feel like nothing
