The Door

I'm the opposite of anything you'd wanna believe in
'Cause I don't even believe in myself
And if the door is closed, it stays that way
And if it's open, I might shut it
'Cause the sound leaks in, and I get overwhelmed

Every time I wake up, I get disappointed
By some shit I didn't do the day before
That's another problem that I have to deal with
And I hate it and can't take it anymore

And I'm a kid on the sideline, just picking at grass
'Cause the other team is bigger, and they're kicking my ass
And, so the coach, he pulls me out
Sits me down and has a laugh
And he says, "kid, you should've stuck with band"

And I'm a boat upon the ocean
And the waves are getting big
And all my knots are falling loose
And the hull is giving in
And there's a monster in the water
And it's giving me a grin
And saying, "man, you should've stayed on the land"

Well, I didn't get to pick this life
But thank god I didn't
'Cause if I did, I'd be some asshole with a view
Overlooking a big city, with nobody else with me
Just some money and a bottle of booze

So, at least I have my people I can drink with
And they like me most the time, I like to think
And we drink, and cheers, and toast
To each other and to ghosts
Of the people who aren't with us anymore

And there's a hole in the ground
At the end of it all
And sometimes, I swear I can hear it breathing
But other times, I think that
There's a place for you and me
The problem is, it's waiting just behind a door
The problem is, it's waiting just behind a door
