Neighbor is painting a shiny red door
Holding my rusted hammer on the wooden floor
Looking at the ceiling while the ceiling looks back
Walking the same circle on the same safe track
Pushing the door shut
Locking it twice
Checking the deadbolt
Paying the price
Used to walk barefoot on the broken glass
Now i wear heavy boots on the soft green grass
Staying inside the chalk line
Drinking the tap water wine
Watching the bird fly but i cut my own wing
Scared of the winter so i hide from the spring
Dust on the running shoes under the bed
Blanket is heavy pulling down my head
Letting the fire slowly turn into ash
Saving the pennies but losing the cash
Pushing the door shut
Locking it twice
Checking the deadbolt
Paying the price
Used to walk barefoot on the broken glass
Now i wear heavy boots on the soft green grass
Staying inside the chalk line
Drinking the tap water wine
Watching the bird fly but i cut my own wing
Scared of the winter so i hide from the spring
Safe in the box
Rusty old locks
Heavy boots
On the soft grass
