Lyrics

I know a small cave that is hidden from all
A dark, little place into which I did fall
Where no one, no one answered my call

So I wandered around in this shadowy cave
When I found my way out, I knew I was changed
The cave knew much about guilt and shame
It broke me and scarred me. I was not the same.

When I left that old place, it was night all around
I looked and I listened, heard only one sound
And I cannot describe it but I was deathly afraid
So I turned round and ran back into the cave
Oh, what a grave decision I’d made

Don’t know how many times I came to its call
It welcomed, it beckoned to hide in its halls
Don’t really know if I left it at all

Why would I return to this dark, painful well?
I’ve chosen its shame over night’s unseen Hell
I find that I’m hidden from the day as well
Into that little dark cave, I wish I never fell

And I realize too late that I’ve made a mistake
By hiding, by trapping myself in this place
Where my sins are my affliction that won’t let me be
And addiction is my jailer who won’t set me free
Chained away from the day that I long to see

There is a small cave in the depths of my soul
A dark, little place that I well know
Been there many a time to escape from the night
Been there many a time to escape from the light
