[Verse 1]
Cower in the corner
Try hard to disappear
The moment’s never going to come
When anyone can say that the coast is clear
Maybe turn around
Find a wall to break your fist on
[Refrain]
Almost every door’s an exit
Just not this one
[Verse 2]
Dream about the outside
Sprinting down the open plain
Barefoot and outclassed
Bloody up the broken grain
Every cartoon keg
TNT and nitroglycerin
[Refrain]
Almost every door’s an exit
Just not this one
[Bridge]
Pause before each door
Like a sinner lost in prayer
Always one more hallway
At the bottom of the stair
[Verse 3]
I get knocked down
But I get up again like a dunce
Cave’s all sealed up
Nowhere to hide out in the winter months
Aiming for the blackout
Spare a prayer for souls in prison
[Refrain]
Almost every door’s an exit
Just not this one
[Outro]
