through my door
[Verse 1]
I started working for her when I was still young
Thought that place could answer things I didn’t know how to ask
I’d chased answers for years, something to quiet my mind
And I knew she had the knowledge I sought to find
I had a flaw you lack and that flaw was trust
I wish I'd kicked it down in time and ground it to dust
Things are more than they appear, doors and people too
The veil between faith and folly is easy to fall through
[Chorus]
Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak
I don’t have all of who I was; maybe I was a fool
Full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
[Verse 2]
She was forgetful, yet had so much behind her eyes
Knowledge barely contained within her frail frame
I couldn’t tell what it was, but there was a density there
Indiscernible things always crowding her air
I had the feeling if she told me, I could not begin to understand
There were times I’d feel ignorant and useless
Feeling she was seeing the world with an added dimension
All I could do was give her all my trust and attention
[Chorus]
Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak
I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
Full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
[Verse 3]
We traveled north for a little business trip
To a place with a name that was fake
We shared a glimpse of hallucination or evidence
She gave me a map that made no sense
She said I could stop a great evil
It was the something I’ve become one with
With the map in hand, I stepped into the maze
Of ever-changing colors and no nights or days
[Chorus]
Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak
I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
Full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
[Bridge]
I met the monster and I made it my own
Made these hallways I wandered my new home
Am I too sharp to look at, am I something unknown?
Would you still call your hand a hand if it had so much bone?
[Chorus]
Now I can’t see my own limbs; they fade in and out
And there’s bones where there shouldn’t be
My voice is always being mocked back at me
Except for the times when it speaks before I speak
I don’t have all of who I was, maybe I was a fool
Full of so much care for others it twisted me from man to tool
Now I’m just some tragedy that hurts your eyes to perceive
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
Won’t you come through my door, keep me company?
