[Verse 1] Sleeping on the eviction letter Trash piling up in the hallway again Answering machine blinking like a warning Your name said slow by a stranger’s friend [Chorus] Death at the doorstep Buzzing the bell like it knows my code Hands in my pockets Acting like I’m not already sold You can knock all night I’m still breathing on this side of the door Death at the doorstep You don’t own me anymore [Verse 2] Ashtray full TV on static channels Rent past due But the plants still grow Fridge light burns on an empty carton I count my pills like they’re dominoes [Chorus] Death at the doorstep Buzzing the bell like it knows my code Hands in my pockets Acting like I’m not already sold You can knock all night I’m still breathing on this side of the door Death at the doorstep You don’t own me anymore [Bridge] You sent storms I grew roots You threw matches I made truth If you’re waiting in the hallway You can wait there till I’m gone (till I choose) [Chorus] Death at the doorstep Buzzing the bell like it knows my code Hands in my pockets Walking past you like I’m walking home You can knock all night I’m still breathing on this side of the door Death at the doorstep You don’t own me anymore
