Open Like a Door
Pull the blinds, open the windowAnd let the sunlight come throughFeel the fresh air blow back your hairAnd let the new day into youTear down the walls, no matter how tallLet nothing stand in your wayThe critics and clowns will all gather 'roundAnd marvel at the brightness of the dayPull up a chair and settle inI'm no confessor and I can't forgive your sinBut I will listen like a bartender and offer you a sighLay your fears upon my earsI'll never ask you whyI don't have to say a wordBut I can give you my advice, if that's what you preferThough I've never studied medicine or problems of the mindSo there's no telling what realities we'll findLet your conversation flowLet your storm of sorrow pourI will be gentle like the autumnOpen like a doorWe've known each other for too longSo don't hold back when I can see that something's wrongSongtexteDon't fool yourself to thinking it's a thing you can disguiseStoring up your problems in your shoulders and your eyesLike a soldier on his guard you standIs that what you really think it takes to be a man?When you reach the breaking pointYou'll snap like rotten woodSettle in and let it outYou know it feels so goodLet your conversation flowLet your storm of sorrow pourI will be gentle like the autumnOpen like a doorPull up a chair and settle inGo ahead and make yourself as comfortable as sinAnd I'll listen like a bartender and offer you a sighGrab a beer, I'll lend an earAnd never ask you whyLet your conversation flowLet your storm of sorrow pourI will be gentle like the autumnOpen like a door Aus Songtexte Mania
