Yoko Kanno - Gotta Knock A Little Harder lyrics

Happiness is just a word to me
And it might´ve meant a thing or two
If I would known the difference

Emptiness, a lonely parody
And my life, another smokin´ gun
A sign of my indifference

Always keepin´ safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
To penetrate a break in

Let me tell you some have tried
But I´d slam the door so tight
That they could never get in

Kept my cool under lock & key
And I never shed a tear
Another sign of my condidtion

Fear of love or bitter vanity
That kept me on the run
The main events at my confession

I kept a chain upon my door
That would shake the shame of Cain
Into a blind submission

The burning ghost without a name
Was calling all the same
But I´dn´t listen

The longer I would stall
The further I would crawl
The further I would crawl
The harder I would fall
I was crawlin´ into the fire

The more that I saw
The further I would fall
The further I would fall
The lower I would crawl
I kept fallin´ into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run & hide
Had totaled my existnce

Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse that this
But could I go the distance

I faced the door & all my shame
Tearin´ off each piece of chain
Till they all were broken

But no matter how I tried
The other side was locked so tight
That door it´dn´t open

Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
I just have got to get through the door

And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I would knock
I just have got to break through the door

Have got to knock a little harder
Have got to knock a little harder
Have got to knock a little harder
Break through the door
