Locked Doors



I'm in this endless hallway
No matter which way I turn
I find only locked doors... oh whoa...

Is me. Is this me?

I hear the party on the other side
Under the door I see the light
But they won't let me inside
And I'm losing my will to fight

The lines on the walls are bleeding
The colors go drab
Melting into the floor

I can't, find what I'm needing
I want it so bad
But I just can't open the door....


I can't open the door...


I can't open the door....

I can't open the door...


I've pounded away
Every night and day
But these hinges won't give way
The why's they won't even say

And I can't open the door....


I can't open the door....


I can't open this door...

I'm afraid to try anymore...


So I go back down these halls
See all these photos I hate
Of when I try to motivate
Myself

Thinking one day I'd escape
But I can't breathe and I think it's too late
And I break down..
Shuddering
I break down
Stuttering
And I look down
I grab hold
Of the handle
The hammer
The tool I need
To get to where I could not before

And I break down
Swinging
I break down
Believing
I break down
Still heaving
I break down
Conceiving

That...

If a door won't open
All on its own
The only way out
Is to make my own.
