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
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
