Intro:

 -  -  - 



Verse 1 :

             	     
Happiness is just a word to me,
                                   
And it might have meant a thing or two
		  
if I had 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 slam the door so tight 
                     
That they could never get in.



Verse 2 :

                  
Kept my cool under lock and key
      
And I never shed a tear
                  
Another sign of my condition.

                      
Fear of love or bitter vanity
     
That kept on the run
                                    
The main of 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.



Chorus 1 :


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

Verse 3 :

              
Suddenly it occurred to me
                          
The reason for the run and hide
               
Had totaled my existance

                    
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 were broken


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



Chorus 2 :


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

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

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

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

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

                      
Gotta knock a little harder
                      
Gotta knock a little harder
                       ver-2
Gotta knock a little harder
                 ver-2
Break down the door
