How can this be
Is it just who I am, is it me?
How can this be?
Questions are lined up
Spinning my head around
Answers nowhere to be found
How do I still crave
To walk into the oldest of caves
The one that whispers inside
How do I still want more
When I have everything I could possibly adore
How and why? Is this just a part of my core?
Wild and free ain't all it sounds to be
I don't want wild, I just want set free
From this taunting voice inside of me
Begging to be fed
And I want it as heavy as lead
But I hide it under the bed
Should I indulge again
Or, sweep it under the rug
Head up, eyes forward
Don't move, stand strong
Hold on to what you have
But the silence is so loud
My heart can't be proud
Turn it off turn it off
Make it stop calling out to me
How can it be?
That I still crave
What lies within that cave
