And here I go again
Opening closed doors
Because I’m tired of being shut out
No amount of
Overturned stones
Could break through your glass house
I’m on the outside looking in
And someone snuffed the light out

She’s a shiny new ploy
Captivating your attention

I can’t seem to brush
This dirt from my shoulder
People keep dropping it
In the grave we made
But I refuse to admit its over

I’m digging deeper
But there’s nothing left
Just this swelling
In my chest

When you open up your door
No one’s on the other side
