Don't Come Knocking
Verse 1
I'm not charmed by your offerings
And as such I enjoy every sandwich
Keeping my sanity intact is important
So I exclude myself from your madness
Distance creates empty spaces
which I'm able to fill with what I want
And the things I need
You better tend to your own backyard
As the trash you've created
Is becoming a mountain
Verse 2
I don't struggle with addictions
Being alone doesn't mean that I'm lonely
What runs through my veins is true blood
I don't pretend to be somebody I'm not
You can't wound me with your words
They're meaningless just like everything you do
I strive for understanding and stillness of mind
There's just no other way for me to be
Bridge
Don't come knocking
Sorry, haters
You can't take my eyes
You can't carry me down
I won't consume the fat of the land
I'm interested in catching the moon
An ambulance is on the way
if you can't deal with rejection
I won't be yours to hold
I won't be yours to break
Whatever people I am
That's what I'm not
Chorus
Even though I'm different than most
You think you really know me
My complexities are far beyond your reach
I live in a metropolis of passion and ideas
I become visible to who I am
Don't come knocking, for I won't answer
