[Verse 1] Air sits heavy Ceiling drops Clock hands dragging Movement stops Hallway humming Paint a bit torn Shoes by the doorway Nobody home [Chorus] I get scared of halfway rooms Where nothing starts And nothing's through Sunday hanging in my chest Too late to wake Too early to rest I keep pacing quiet floors Afraid of doors Afraid of doors [Verse 2] Mug on the table Ring on the wood Lipstick from June Right where it stood Echo of laughter Trapped in the spoons Calendar crooked In an empty room I open the window Forget to breathe The street is a secret I’ll never retrieve [Chorus] I get scared of halfway rooms Where nothing starts And nothing's through Sunday hanging in my chest Too late to wake Too early to rest I keep pacing quiet floors Afraid of doors Afraid of doors [Bridge] Is it safer in the hallway Than the street outside? If I move Do I lose What I never tried? (Repeat with increasing tension) What I never tried? What I never tried? [Chorus] I get scared of halfway rooms Where nothing starts And nothing's through Sunday hanging in my chest Too late to wake Too early to rest I keep pacing quiet floors Tracing grooves I traced before Afraid of doors Afraid of doors [Outro] (Music thins out to a single drone) Afraid of doors... Tracing grooves... (Whispered) Air sits heavy... Ceiling drops... Sunday hanging... (Silence)
