Artificial Cave

from Mind Searching For Me? by Kaeru Dawn

/

lyrics

What is this cave I'm sitting in?
There's so many walls
Not enough light coming from outside
Everything is artificial
Nothing in here is real
Nothing in here is wonderful
Nothing makes me feel
Like I want to do anything or get outside and live life
I just want to sit in my room and close the curtains and sleep

It's the most uninspiring environment that I could ever find myself in
..But here i am creating
Oh what is it about uncomfortableness that makes me be my best, that makes me do more?
What is it about feeling unsatisfied that makes me want to satisfy my hunger?
What is it about seeing what is wrong and wanting to be part of the solution?
Not the problem

But that's the problem - I AM!
I am part of the problem
And so are you - yeah so are you - yes you are - don't lie to yourself anymore
You are part of it and more
You are here to explore but you've been stuck inside an artificial cave
With no natural lighting and nothing exciting could happen any time soon
Even if it did you would look the other way
Change the channel, change the station just do whatever it takes to ignore what you know
To Ignore what is wrong
To ignore the fact we destroy the planet we are from

Why would you treat your home like that?

Why would you put up those walls?
Between you and your neighbour

Why would you want to live inside anyway?
You can't feel the air, you can't feel the Sun, you can't feel the Earth, you can't see everyone
You're alone, isolated, alienated on your own
Lonely, lonely, lonesome loner sitting in a cave
With your artificial gadgets - isn't that great?

You lonely, lonely loner in that artificial cave with your artificial gadgets
Isn't that just great? Now you can say distracted, stay in denial
You can stay repressing your feelings for a while

We'll see how long it lasts then.
We'll see how long it lasts.
We'll see how long you can keep it up,
See how long before you blow up

Ooooh - You know you will
