Lyrics
Behind Closed Doors
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Chairs thrown and tables toppled
Hands armed with broken bottles
Standing no chance to win but
We're not running, we're not running
There's a point I think we're missing
It's in the air we raise our fists in
In the smiles we cast each other
My sister, my brother
About the time we gave up hope and
We never find these locks still open
Stumbling on stones unturned
The hurt we feel, we all have found
The lives we've lost in such a change
But all they see is treason
Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors
Bonfires burn like beacons
Guiding the lost and weakened
Flames dance on crashing waves
Guiding ships who've gone a stray
Time out, let's stop and think this through
We've all got better things to do
A talk in circles run in place
Answers inches from my face
Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors
Black eyes, broken fingers
Blood drips and I let it run
Down my lips and to my swollen gums
When hope is non-existent
Our instincts all scream: run
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue
Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors
Behind closed doors
Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
(Break out) I won't be left here
Behind closed doors
