[Verse 1] When I close the door, the ceiling turns wide A red paper moon rolls under the tide I meet every version I buried awake They hand me the pieces I thought I should break [Pre-Chorus] No judge in the hallway No lock on the chest The impossible calls me And gives me a rest [Chorus] Let me fall through the floor Let the lost doors swing I can wake with a wound That remembers to sing If the dark is a room Then the room has a key Every dream makes a country That carries me [Verse 2] I ride on a staircase that grows as I climb Past rooms full of birthdays I left behind A child with my eyes draws a map on my sleeve Says, take what you need, you don't have to believe [Pre-Chorus] The river runs backward The old names dissolve My hands stop defending What sleep can resolve [Chorus] Let me fall through the floor Let the lost doors swing I can wake with a wound That remembers to sing If the dark is a room Then the room has a key Every dream makes a country That carries me [Bridge] I was not broken, only braced I was not empty, only faced With every fear I couldn't name Until the night rebuilt my frame [Breakdown] Open the gate Undo the chain Give me the storm Give me the rain I come back changed I come back clear The life I was hiding Is waiting here [Final Chorus] Let me fall through the floor Let the lost doors swing I can wake with a wound That remembers to sing If the dark is a room Then the room has a key Every dream makes a country That carries me [Outro] When morning arrives, I keep what it gave A door in my breathing, a heart I can save
