shadows dancing underground

if i could just leave it alone
call it quits on the digging
this doing of a real thing
right that would be ideal
there is no money in this
hole that i dug i just dug it

dug it with all of my might
then found myself in it
and if that doesn’t matter
if that caring doesn’t matter
well i’m learning to love

it down here in this place
of earthen walls and sculpted
arches and candle-lit caves
and dancing shadows that sing
as i sing and dance as i dance
across the mosaic floors.
