A Secret Door

(album: Hunter Gatherer - 2020)

I'm blown away
Like a layer of dust on the floor of the hall where we first met
Trust was the first thing we lost that day
You asked where to stay
You would do what you must and the drawings would say more than you could
Lust for red berries, the taste of shame

How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land, before we land
Before we land, before we land

I just wanna play
There's a scent of regret but I don't know whose time we are stealing
Ask me and I wouldn't change a thing
Am I in the way?
I will do what I must to make sure that our treasures are hidden
Move with the currents, just one more day

How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land, before we land
Before we land, before we land

I'm blown away, like a layer of dust
Yes, but I don't know the name I've been given
No more than dirt so do what you must
I know I must pay, I know it's a crime
Yes, but if you come inside, I'm forgiven
But there's that urge to flee
We can fight some other time

How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land, before we land
Before we land, before we land
