Charles Tristan - Knocking at Your Door Lyrics

Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh

Knocking at your door
Isolate your soul
Sheets are cold and clingy
Warm blood at the core
Let me in, let me in
Knocking at your door
Let me in, let me in
Where will we begin

Where will you begin
The peephole looks both ways
What you show me of the body
Glows red upon my face
Breathe it in, breathe it in
Set fire to the old gods
We are more than them
Crush your unlit cigarettes

Roll them up again
Quitting's not so easy, and
You love to let death win
So roll them up again
Knocking at your door
Set fire to the old gods
At the vessel, sore
Intent may be disputed

But here in text, you swore
Signed your name while lucid
Regret knocks at your door
I come to your door
Can't feel bad forever
I am here and look
I display all my weapons
Honesty is clever when

You are on the hook
Some prefer a dinner
Glass of wine, for taste
But I see you in the mirror
And we are the same way
I am here and look
Bearing gifts to show
I am like the hot knife

You are soft as snow
Let me in, I'm frozen
It's looking like a storm
And perhaps the blizzard makes you
Grateful for the warm
Cuddle up forever
I am just a door
But you can unlock more

You unblock me at four
In the morning hours
As if you need the rest
There's a greater hunger
Survival at its best
Consequence of chaos
Punctuates your breath
Gasping for the oxygen

Have you passed the test
The essay flawless written
But your bedroom is a mess
Evening hour sun glares
And you are barely dressed
Surpass all your teachers
I am not impressed
Flipped over plastic trophies

(Animal, animal) They placed on your desk
(Oh) I lock my soul in cabinets
(Animal, animal) The kitchen, I ransack
(Oh) With shards of my affect
(Animal, animal) The consequence of that
(Oh) Self-harm heart attack
(Animal, animal) The consequence of this
(Oh) When you knock on me
I knock back

Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
Animal, animal, oh
