The Door That Doesn't Open – Lil Vasili

I stood before it for a thousand nights My hand on the handle, no strength in the light I heard the breathing of something inside But the door doesn't open – so I wait outside Chorus The door that doesn't open, the lock without a key The corridor that only leads to more of me I knock and I knock and the silence grows thick Some thresholds were never meant to be crossed – just visited I've tried every angle, I've said every prayer I've pressed my ear to the wood to hear if someone's there The answer is always the same hollow sound The door that doesn't open is the door I'm bound Chorus The door that doesn't open, the lock without a key The corridor that only leads to more of me I knock and I knock and the silence grows thick Some thresholds were never meant to be crossed – just visited Bridge Maybe the waiting is the ritual itself Not the crossing, but the hand on the shelf Not the passage, but the pause before The door that doesn't open is still a door Outro So I stay. I stay. The door doesn't open. But neither do I close.
