[Intro: Reversed Bell Synth, Backwards Reverb, Cold and Sparse] [Verse 1: Male Lead, Low Intimate Vocal, Clean Tremolo Guitar, Sparse Drums] I know the shape of every room I know where the floorboards give I know the crack that runs the ceiling I know how long I've lived I hear the footsteps cross above me And count the boards that answer back [Pre-Chorus: Male Lead, Low Dirty Guitar Texture Enters, Hi-Hats Begin] And everything arrives at my feet And I don't move [Chorus: Male Lead + Female Vocal One Octave Above, Wide Octave Guitars, Full Real Drums] I've been standing in this doorway so long I've started treating it like a life So I don't knock I don't knock I don't knock I just wait [Verse 2: Male Lead, Arrangement Pulls Back, Clean Tremolo Guitar] I know the weight of every hour I know the sound of every car I know the way the hallway settles I know exactly where you are And I have memorised the distance Between the handle and my hand [Pre-Chorus: Male Lead, Tension Building] And everything arrives at my feet And I don't move [Chorus: Male Lead + Female Vocal One Octave Above, Wide and Heavy] I've been standing in this doorway so long I've started treating it like a life So I don't knock I don't knock I don't knock I just wait [Bridge: Female Deep Mezzo Lead, Bass Forward, Drums and Guitars Drop Out, Faint Reversed Bell Synth] I pay admission with my wit With my grit, with my spit To a war I wasn't called for Still I dress myself for it I keep something for the toll booth Something shiny I can give Empty pockets at the doorway~ [Breath] [Final Chorus: Male + Female Layered Vocals, Full Band Returns, Reversed Bell Synth Underneath] I've been standing in this doorway so long I've started treating it like a life So I don't knock I don't knock I don't knock [All Instruments Cut Before Expected Final Line] [Silence] [End]
