lyrics

XIV. Knock, Knock

I'm afraid to open up my heart
Fore if I let my guard down
If I lead you through these labyrinthine walls
You might plunge your
Subtle knife
Into my rotten chest
Thick and layered with scars
The wounds of the past
So deep inside
It takes a light of ultraviolet
To see them

Shall I let you in?
Go ahead, knock on the door
Most times
Of the evening
You won't get an answer
Go ahead
kick,
punch,
scream at the top of your lungs
Keep on a knockin' babe
I may just leave a crack of pure yellow light open...
