Close The Door

about

This song is basically about childhood abuse I experienced and the aftermath of it as an adult. Those shadows don't hurt anymore. But, it still undeniably shaped my life. I never wanted any of that to define me. I've done a good job of that, but it really sent me down a different path. I'm wondering if these issues are the actual root of my problems. But, if they are, how do I deal with that? I cut myself a lot in the past. I tried to hang myself. I didn't want to be on this planet anymore. I still feel that way, in a way. Some things keep me here. Some things take me there. For now, I'm here, rather than there...

lyrics

Breathe in the air at the break of dawn
I take it I won't ever know, I know
Lying awake in the dead of night
I take it I won't ever dream again, again

Gotta keep holding on, close the door
Keep those shaddows lit, they don't hurt anymore

Hiding away from the shining sun
I take it I won't ever know, I know
Wishing for that moonlit night
I take it I won't ever dream again, again

Gotta keep holding on, close the door
Keep those shaddows lit, they don't hurt anymore

I never gave in to the sadness
I never gave in to the pain
But I'm tired of the numbness
I'm tired of the rain

Close the door (keep holding on)
