I wonder how deep the caverns of the heart are
For voices of the past are still echoing through its walls.
I thought I'd heard some voices
I thought I'd follow them
I thought I'd reached the sources
From where this echoes stem
I found there was nobody
I found myself alone
In the corner of my body
But not even a soul
The walls feel the vibration
Of someone's silent scream
I guess it's not the ocasion
To say it's just a dream
Why do I hear these echoes?
Why do I feel the need
To find the one that beckons?
Instead of paying no heed?
Is it my heart that's craving
For the one that made it bleed?
Or just a memory that's stuck
Somewhere and won't recede
I hear them only in silence.
I hear them inside my head.
I hear them seeking for violence,
Waking me up from bed
I cannot trust in time
For this it cannot heal
Why do I hear this chime?
What does its sound conceal?
I can't be living with it
But I don't want it to end
Sometimes when I am lonely
It becomes my only friend
And if i were to surrender
Only to find the echo speaks
With a voice that I remember
And has been making me weak
Could be the sound of your singing
Could it also be my own
Could this choir of our clinging
Onto each other be my fall?
I recall now what it feels like
To be pushed up to the edge
By a voice that wakes at midnight
With a hunger for my flesh
I begin now feeling cold
As I'm giving into it
As it lurks within my soul
As it crawls from head to feet
This is it! The tune I hearken
And the root of all my stress
It only wants me to listen!
It yearns for me to confess!
It wants you to know that somewhere
Deep in the caves of the Heart
Still my love for you lingers
And it sends you my regards.
