Cory Croft & the Band of Phantoms - Don't Open the Door Lyrics

I’ve had enough
I’ve seen you turn away
Another day wasted
And I feel disgraced
I’m running undiagnosed
But I know that something’s wrong
These demons know my name
I’ll consider to answer their call
Just to relieve this shame
Too many memories
weigh down this rising ache
I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
You won’t be the same, friend, anymore
Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free
Don’t try
Don’t try
I feel so trapped
Restricted by my ways
You’d think I’ve learned by now
That I’ll never stay the same
I hate what I’ve become
A victim of restraint
Lack the courage to break this crutch
And stand with broken legs
I’ll never be the same
By the time you’ve read this
It’ll already be too late
And I’m sorry
But don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
You won’t be the same, friend, anymore
Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free, don’t try
This has gone long enough
I'm not the one I thought I was
This absence unbearable
I'm not strong enough to let it go
There's so much blood on my hands
No water to wash it off again
I am unclean with wasted time
Let my ashes free by fireside
And I’m sorry
But don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
You won’t be the same, friend, anymore
Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free
And I’m sorry
But don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I’ve had enough
I’ve seen you turn away
Another day wasted
And I feel disgraced
I’m running undiagnosed
But I know that something’s wrong
These demons know my name
I’ll consider to answer their call
Just to relieve this shame
Too many memories
weigh down this rising ache
I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
You won’t be the same, friend, anymore
Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free
Don’t try
Don’t try
I feel so trapped
Restricted by my ways
You’d think I’ve learned by now
That I’ll never stay the same
I hate what I’ve become
A victim of restraint
Lack the courage to break this crutch
And stand with broken legs
I’ll never be the same
By the time you’ve read this
It’ll already be too late
And I’m sorry
But don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
You won’t be the same, friend, anymore
Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free, don’t try

Turn back and call who you need
Let them come to cut me free
And I’m sorry
But don’t open the door
Couldn’t stand to be me anymore
Everyday I fought to feel alright
But I lost control of my life
And I’m sorry
Don’t open the door
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
