Open the Blinds

[Verse 1]
I map every danger
In the back of my head
Draw a line through the doorway
Then I sleep in the bed

I keep feeding the worry
With a mouthful of doubt
Build a wall from the questions
Then complain I can't get out

[Pre-Chorus]
Every alarm has a reason
Every bruise has a name
But the lock on the window
Is turning inside my frame

[Chorus]
Open the blinds, let it in
Let the good day begin
All of this fear was a gate
I kept mistaking for fate
Open the blinds, step through
There is a sky waiting too
I was the wall, I was the weight
Now I am moving past the gate

[Verse 2]
I wore sadness like armor
Kept it close to my chest
Turned a minute of silence
Into proof of the worst

Frustration kept knocking
I kept calling it noise
Till I heard underneath it
A small, unfinished choice

[Pre-Chorus]
Every alarm has a reason
Every bruise has a name
But the lock on the window
Is turning inside my frame

[Chorus]
Open the blinds, let it in
Let the good day begin
All of this fear was a gate
I kept mistaking for fate
Open the blinds, step through
There is a sky waiting too
I was the wall, I was the weight
Now I am moving past the gate

[Bridge]
I can feel the old room
Reaching out for my sleeve
But the floor is still steady
And my lungs still believe

No thunderous answer
No sign in the street
Just one hand on the handle
And the ground under my feet

[Final Chorus]
Open the blinds, let it in
Let the good day begin
All of this fear was a gate
I kept mistaking for fate
Open the blinds, step through
There is a sky waiting too
I was the wall, I was the weight
Now I am moving past the gate

[Outro]
Past the gate
Past the gate
The day is already on its way
