deep inside the caverns of your mind is where it lies
is it love
is it peace
is it happiness
is it something we need

deep inside the caverns of our mind we lie
we lie, to better ourselves
we lie, to stay with the ones we love
we lie, for our own gain
we lie, for time

but can time return what has been all along
what has never left?

deep inside the caverns of your mind is where it lies
the thing that once flourished, long ago
the thing that lies shriveled, old, wasted
the thing forgotten by many
the thing that many still search for
the thing that everybody needs.
