Doors Are Open - Kings of the City

Shes no longer a big part of your small life

Still you see her in your dreams

When the doors are open

There’s no space for all components

Soaking in the ocean and the sea

Well there’s no purpose for the old circus in the furthest side of town

Said they will always be around

When the doors are open

There’s no time to pause in motion

Floating like a boat on solid ground

(Ali Bla Bla)

I guess I’m just a mere mortal

Looking for a portal to another realm

Coz day to day monotony has left me overwhelmed

My mind echoes the sound of regret

Thinking what might have been

If things were a little more inspiring

I take a look at this old man that’s retiring

And know in my heart that things didn’t go to plan

I guess his success is relative to his cleverness

But he will still die owning no land

Who have I become?

I’m comfortably numb

I hate to be loved

I love to be glum

It’s easy being dumb

Going nowhere is fun

At least I know where I belong

And I like to hide from the sun

Should have stayed in my mum

Wouldn’t say it to her face

A coward with no grace

Every hour is a race

To the last moments of my life

When I’m finally put in my place

I watch my little brother making the same mistakes

Maybe it takes being invaded to close the gates

Stuck in my loner ways I’m feeling like a joke today

But what’s the point?

There’s clearly no start or end

Forever tip toeing around the edge

When it’s time for my judgement ill have no knees left to beg

Please accept my head, seeing red is often calming

To some alarming, summers charming for a man that’s farming

Perhaps I’m yet to see the earth

Perhaps I was dead before birth

Perhaps I’ll be happy at worse

As if being last was much better than first

I’m living in the dirt

Forgive me I’m hurt

But I’ve never felt pain

The silence is great

And the night is my day

But I like the dismay

It’s the only thing exciting I say

I’m a knife with no blade

That you won’t learn to hold or obey

(Danny Wilder)

She’s no longer a big part of your small life

Still you see her in your dreams

When the doors are open

There’s no space for all components

Soaking in the ocean and the sea

When the doors are open

There’s no space for all components

Soaking in the ocean and the sea
