The Seatbelts ☆ Gotta Knock a Little Harder

Happiness is just a word to me/And it might have meant a
thing or two/If I’d had known the difference
Emptiness, a lonely pardoy/And my life,another smokin’ gun
A sign of my indifferenct
Always keepin’ safe inside/Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in
Let me tell you some have tried/But I would slam the door
so tight/That they could never get in
Kept my cool under a lock and key/And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condition
Fear of love or bitter vanity/That kept me on the run
The main events at my confession
I kept a chain upon my door/That would shake the shame
of Cain/Into a blind submission
The burning ghost without a name/Was still calling all the
same/But I just wouldn’t listen

The longer I’d stall/The further I’d crawl
The further I’d crawl/The harder I’d fall
I was crawlin’ into the fire

The more that I saw/The further I’d fall
The further I’d fall/The lower I’d crawl
I kept fallin’ into the fire/Into the fire/Into the fire

Suddenly it occured to me/The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existence
Everything left on the other side/Could never be much
worse than this/But could I go the distance
I faced the door and all my shame/Tearin’ of each piece
of chain Until they are were broken
But no matter how I tried/The other side was locked so tight
The door it wouldn’t open

Gave it all that I got/And started to know/Shout for
someone/To open the lock/I just gotta get through the door
And the more that I knocked/The hotter I got/The hotter I got
Suddenly it occured to me/The reason for the run and hide
Had totaled my existence
Everything left on the other side/Could never be much
worse than this/But could I go the distance
I faced the door and all my shame/Tearin’ of each piece
of chain Until they are were broken
But no matter how I tried/The other side was locked so tight
The door it wouldn’t open

Gave it all that I got/And started to know/Shout for
someone/To open the lock/I just gotta get through the door
And the more that I knocked/The hotter I got/The hotter I got
The harder I’d knock/I just gotta break through the door

Gotta knock a little harder/Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder/Break through the door
