lyrics

Forfending, to the door with the lock
Like that will stop you
Like that will keep you out, keep you outside my head
The knob rattling, a start
I hear the voices before the steps up and down the hall
Lungs are black from the ways they tried to smoke me out

All I see is harm, a threat to shelter
Threatening the defense with mocking acknowledgement
Blind to the cause of it, knowing isn’t power enough
It’s a barricade now in my head, of guilt, of shame

And I let the key deteriorate in me
Keep me locked in days that go unnumbered
I retired the possibility of a different reality quickly
Lost hope of a better-chosen family
It’s bleak reality, and I let the key deteriorate in me
Don’t think to shudder

Forfending, to the door with the lock
My future home with many bolt locks
Like that will stop you
Like that will keep you out, keep you outside my head
The knob rattling, a start
I hear the voices before the steps up and down the hall
Lungs are black from the ways they tried to smoke me out
