Lyrics

Cave

In parting ways and parting hearts
A dress of leaves blows to the winds
Take these sacrificial remnants untended
Bashed to dust and trust distressed
Red cheeks caved in

I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause all we know
Is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
Don't grieve anymore
'Cause all I hold
Is all I own

Is this a desperate wish for dying?
Or a wish that dying cease?
The fear that keeps me going
And going and going
Is the same fear that brings me to my knees

I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause what was gold
Is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
'Cause all we are
Is bled and gone

I am the air
The after
Always in the clouds
Searching for some answer
Parted now
I am the shore repeated
Becoming air
I'm finally free

I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
What I can't see
Can't hold to me
I don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
'Cause what was gold
Is gone and cold

I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
'Cause what was gold
Is gone and cold
I don't believe anymore
Don't believe anymore
I won't grieve anymore
Won't grieve anymore
For you
