Lyrics
[verse]
I hid myself inside a hollow stone
Told myself I'd rather be alone
Fed on echoes of my own retreat
Called it safety, called it my defeat
[verse]
You came knocking at the mouth of dark
Brought a lantern, brought a single spark
Said the world outside was worth the fear
Said you'd walk beside me out of here
[chorus]
So I'll leave the cave that I have made
Step out from the shadow and the shade
I was wrong to think I stood so tall
Alone inside my crumbling wall
[verse]
I mistook my pride for solid ground
Built a kingdom where no love was found
But a man who never bends will break
So I'm learning now, for both our sakes
[chorus]
So I'll leave the cave that I have made
Step out from the shadow and the shade
I was wrong to think I stood so tall
Alone inside my crumbling wall
[bridge]
And I'll find strength in the tears I've cried
And I'll find comfort in the hands I've tied
So come out, come out, whoever you are
This is your call to leave the cave, however far
[chorus]
So I'll leave the cave that I have made
Step out from the shadow and the shade
I was wrong to think I stood so tall
Alone inside my crumbling wall
[outro]
I'm coming out into the light
