Closing Doors

Five more steps and I’ll leave this home
I won’t be coming back, and deep down I know
That this will be the last time, and time is running slow
Every footstep that I take makes the loudest sound
Closing doors to empty rooms
This isn’t how I pictured it would be This is where I used to daydream all my days away
Filling in the blanks with stolen memories
The constant light that I used to stare at outside my window
Starts to flicker
It can’t be running away if there’s nowhere left to run to It’s just I’ve found another way
This can’t be running away, if there’s nowhere left to run to It’s just I’ve found another way to get to where I need to be Step outside
Leaving for the last time
The air is so much colder than it used to be That night air, it closes in on me
And as I breathe out I can feel the end beginning
Try not to shake as I turn and lock in the door
Locking away a life that I fought so hard for
But as I’m walking away I know the night belongs to me As I’m walking away, I know this night belongs to me It can’t be running away if there’s nowhere left to run to It’s just I’ve found another way, to get to where I need to be This night belongs to me
