Wake

With the door closed, shades drawn, the world shrinks
 Let's open up those blinds
 But someone has to sweep the floor, pick up her dirty clothes
 That job's not mine
 Now that everyone's an enemy, my heart sinks
 Let's put away those claws
 I don't blame them for their curtain-calls 'cause I pulled the rope
 I wanna call them back out for applause
 Spring and Thompson on the first of May is horrible
 We hid in catacombs
 So now I'm sleeping next to mousetraps in a bed of all our clothes
 While I hope that she won't come home
 It was easier to lock the door and kill the phone than to show my skin
 Because the hardest thing is never to repent for someone else
 It's letting people in
 ♪
 Well, you can come inside, unlock the door, take off your shoes
 But this might take all night
 To explain to you I would have walked out those sliding doors
 But the timing never seemed right
 When your helicopter came and tried to lift me out
 I put its rope around my neck
 And after that you didn't bother with the airlift or the rescue
 You knew just what to expect
 That with the door closed, shades drawn, we're dead enough
 They don't open from outside
 And someone has to speak with their teeth behind their tongue
 To never let that right be denied
 We can't rely on photographs and visitation time
 But I just don't know where to begin
 I wanna bust down the door if you're willing to forgive
 I've got the keys, I'm letting people in
 ♪
 Don't be scared to speak
 Don't speak with someone's tooth
 Don't bargain when you're weak
 Don't take that sharp abuse
 Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
 Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that
