The allegory of the cave


It must be what now 13 days?
But I can't shake or forget this twist of cruel fate
You threw yourself into the fray
With no single thought of the end
You fell once again
So this is permanent this change
It's far too late to contemplate beginning again
This transience is how it's played
Once lost is away all your days, my friend are numbered
Oh come on silence whisper my name
Give me the answers that I crave
Is it so cold? we just grow old and slowly crumble
The light reflects the wall of this cave
They dance the flame illuminates
But our hands are bound we can't turn round to face the embers
Do these cells hold all that I am
& once they decay like you I'll fade into the darkness
Oh come on silence whisper my name
Explain the rules of the game
Oh come on silence talk to me

My feet are bleeding to the bone
They're cracked & worn
The skin is torn from such a long road
But there's still a long way to go
The sun beats down
My furrowed brow's about to burn now
The endless questions still remain
Did I live before & will I then live on once again?
Or are we plucked out from the void
& placed in this frame made of bones, blood & braincells
& so we're thrown back in the void
Eternity in the dark is such a long time
Either path is lined with darkness
The crushing pain/the endless void
Repeat the same painful mistakes or
Slowly rot into the soil
Oh darkness please whisper my name
Whisper the rules of this here game

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
