Gotta Knock A Little Harder Lyrics

Gotta Knock A Little Harder lyrics

Happiness is just a word to me
And it might have meant a thing or two
If
I'd known the difference

Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life,
another smokin' gun
A sign of my indifference

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 lock and key
And I never shed a
tear
Another sign of my condidtion

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 calling all the
same
But I 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 occurred to me
The reason for the
run and hide
Had totaled my existnce

Everything left on the other
side
Could never be much worse that this
But could I go the
distance

I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of
chain
Until they all were broken

But no matter how I tried
The
other side was licked so tight
That door it wouldn't open

Gave it all
that I got
And started to knock
Shouted 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
