[Verse 1]
She said
“Look in the blue light”
“Tell me
Which face are you tonight?”
Scroll seas
Slow-motion tide
Little names that we wear like pride
Soft glow
Sugar on the tongue
Sharp words
Make your fingers numb
All these lives in the palm of your hand
Whole worlds in a grain of glass and sand
[Chorus]
In the caverns of identity
Masks float by like jellyfish
Some glow beautifully
Some sting where you once wished
In the caverns of identity
We reach out
We resist
Are you saving your true face
For the moment you’re missed?
[Verse 2]
She laughed
“I got a hundred skins”
“Spin the wheel
See which one wins”
Every heart with a secret door
Click once
You’re someone more
Thin veils drifting in the dark
Soft lies dressed up as art
Tell me which one ever feels like home
When the screen goes black and you’re alone
[Chorus]
In the caverns of identity
Masks float by like jellyfish
Some glow beautifully
Some sting where you once wished
In the caverns of identity
We reach out
We resist
Are you saving your true face
For the moment you’re missed?
[Bridge]
Who are you when the light goes down? (light goes down)
Name in your mouth
But you make no sound (no sound)
Heart like a drum in an empty room
Looking for a body that can hold your truth (hold your truth)
[Chorus]
In the caverns of identity
Masks float by like jellyfish
Some glow beautifully
Some sting where you once wished
In the caverns of identity
We reach out
We resist
Are you saving your true face
For the moment you’re missed?
