"The Door" lyrics

I'm the opposite of anything you'd wanna believe in
'Cause I don't even believe in myself
And if the door is closed it stays that way, and if it's open I might shut it
'Cause the sound leaks in and I get overwhelmed

Every time I wake up I get disappointed by
Some shit I didn't do the day before
That's another problem that I have do deal with
And I hate it and can't take it anymore

And I'm a kid on the sideline just pickin' at grass
Cause the other team is bigger and they're kickin my ass
And so the coach he pulls me out, sits me down
And has a laugh and he says, "Kid, you shoulda stuck with band"

And I'm a boat upon the ocean and the waves are getting big
And all my knots are falling loose and the hull is givin' in
And there's a monster in the water and it's givin' me a grin
And sayin', "Man, you shoulda stayed on the land"

Well, I didn't get to pick this life, but thank God I didn't
'Cause if I did I'd be some asshole with a view
Overlooking a big city with nobody else with me
Just some money and a bottle of booze

And so at least I have my people I can drink with
And they like me most of the time I like to think
And we drink and cheers and toast to each other and to ghosts
Of the people who aren't with us anymore

And there's a hole in the ground at the end of it all
And sometimes I swear I can hear it breathe
Other times I think there's a place for you and me
The problem is it's waiting just behind a door
The problem is it's waiting just behind a door
