This song is about murder, the lyrics are the perpetrator’s thoughts leading up to his capture, his helplessness, and how he can hear the cops outside about to break the door down.
[Intro]
It's 8am and her blood's still warm
The radio choke's out my favorite song
I hear sirens, they sing along
(Through the walls)
[Verse 1]
My pulse is pumping to the beat outside
A violent screaming rise and shine
Waves of helplessness reach to the sky
(With heartbreak eyes)
[Climb 1]
And as the walls around come crashing down
I ask myself how am I still around
[Chorus]
It's easy
It's beautiful
It's simple
The everlasting Sunday glow
(I won't let you in)(x4)
Don't push me away
[Verse 2]
I turn the music up a little more
Trying to drown out what's in store
There's a battle raging right outside my door
(It's all over. It's all over)
[Verse 3]
Head downstairs
Empty table
The tv glares
A criminal has been declared... Beware
[Climb 2]
And as the world around come crashing down
I ask myself how am I still around
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
Time and time and time again
We seem to break before we bend
Time and time and time again
I won't let you in
[Chorus]
It's easy
It's beautiful
It's simple
The everlasting Sunday glow
(I won't let you in)(x4)
So don't push me away
