[Verse 1] I map every danger In the back of my head Draw a line through the doorway Then I sleep in the bed I keep feeding the worry With a mouthful of doubt Build a wall from the questions Then complain I can't get out [Pre-Chorus] Every alarm has a reason Every bruise has a name But the lock on the window Is turning inside my frame [Chorus] Open the blinds, let it in Let the good day begin All of this fear was a gate I kept mistaking for fate Open the blinds, step through There is a sky waiting too I was the wall, I was the weight Now I am moving past the gate [Verse 2] I wore sadness like armor Kept it close to my chest Turned a minute of silence Into proof of the worst Frustration kept knocking I kept calling it noise Till I heard underneath it A small, unfinished choice [Pre-Chorus] Every alarm has a reason Every bruise has a name But the lock on the window Is turning inside my frame [Chorus] Open the blinds, let it in Let the good day begin All of this fear was a gate I kept mistaking for fate Open the blinds, step through There is a sky waiting too I was the wall, I was the weight Now I am moving past the gate [Bridge] I can feel the old room Reaching out for my sleeve But the floor is still steady And my lungs still believe No thunderous answer No sign in the street Just one hand on the handle And the ground under my feet [Final Chorus] Open the blinds, let it in Let the good day begin All of this fear was a gate I kept mistaking for fate Open the blinds, step through There is a sky waiting too I was the wall, I was the weight Now I am moving past the gate [Outro] Past the gate Past the gate The day is already on its way
