John Zdrojeski - Shadows in the Cave Lyrics

Well after it all
Looks like I'm back to where I started
Is life meant to be this way?
Feel like we're making progress
Come out the other side
Redundancy and I got
Nothing new to say
Where are the words
That will cure me with their rhyme?
And tape my battered hopes together
One last time
And I won't search for lovers anymore
That'd be a crime
So my heart is closed for business
Unless you can read my mind
And I'll gaze here at the wall
To watch the shadows dance
Will sooth me after all this time
Away
Not going outside
Think I'll stay here in my cave
Think I'll stay here in my cave
Half of me's a spendthrift
When it comes to my affections
And the other half's disgusted
At the lack of a collection
Of dues I feel I'm owed
For all the love I sowed
In her
Cause when the light shines
On this hovel made of stone
Exposing fits of romance
Carved here when I was alone
All that they reveal, and all they seem to say
Is those dreams I dreamt of love died
When she took her love away
And I'll gaze here at the wall
To watch the shadows dance
Will soothe me after all this time
Away
Not going outside
Think I'll stay here in my cave
Think I'll stay here in my cave
No "A" for effort
For the one who kept the faith
No "A" for effort
For the one who kept the faith
Do I delude myself
In all these dreams of love?
Is it just infatuation
Until someone's had enough?
And how must I work
To let it live and watch it grow?
And does it always end in heartache
Singing songs nobody knows?
See I'm banished to this wall
To watch the shadows dance
As punishment
For all my time
Away
What a fool I was
To reach beyond my cave
If you need me I'll be here inside my cave
If you need me I'll be here inside my cave
