Door in My Mind

Lyrics

Verse 1
I saw it in the stairwell crack
In the sugar on your plate
In the way the curtain moved
Like it knew my name

You laughed and turned away
Said, "It's just the air"
But I heard a second step
On the other side of there

Pre-Chorus
Something wants to be known
Something knocks, then waits
I feel it under my skin
Like a key in a locked-up place

Chorus
Open the door in my mind
Open the door in my mind
I feel it turning inside
Open the door in my mind

Verse 2
You slept right through the room
When the glass began to sing
With your face turned to the wall
You called it nothing, anything

I watched the moon sit still
On the edge of your hand
You said, "Don't read into it"
But I did, and I understand

Pre-Chorus
Something wants to be known
Something knocks, then waits
I feel it under my skin
Like a key in a locked-up place

Chorus
Open the door in my mind
Open the door in my mind
I feel it turning inside
Open the door in my mind

Bridge
Maybe truth is soft at first
Maybe it arrives as breath
Maybe some of us wake
While the rest just call it dead

I won't chase it in the dark
I won't shame the tremble now
If it speaks in broken light
I'll learn the shape somehow

Chorus
Open the door in my mind
Open the door in my mind
I feel it turning inside
Open the door in my mind

Outro
The awake keep score in signs
The asleep roll over slow
But I can hear that hidden pull
And I won't let go
(Open the door)
