The Knocking In My Head
Not Yet! I'm not ready...
How dare you try to change my life right now!
I told you I wanted longer,
told you I needed my own time,
but you are knocking on my door,
and I can't get rid of that knocking sound.
I feel the knocking deep in my head...
I told you I wanted it in my time,
that I wanted to leave until I come back,
but life is pushing me towards you,
and I question what should truly be.
I feel the knocking deep in my head...
I ran away so I didn't have to face
the scars,
the lies,
the painful thoughts.
Yet I feel the knocking deep in my head...
Fine! If you think I am...
Then you help my frightful dread!
If I tell you that I'll go now
you must help me through.
Fill me with the truth.
Something needs to help heal the pain.
Now I feel a knocking on my heart.
