knock, knock... who's there?

She was one mess of an insurgent, highly volatile detergent

A support beam in the wind who dreamed of getting bent

Easily destroyed by the weight of life

Singing with her finger tips to anyone who would hear her strife

Consistently confusing attention for attraction

A gold fish in a bag looking for distraction

But heavy came the weight of the fish bowl

Fuck your plastic pirate ship, this is not home

We all swim but some of us forget to sink

It's not a bad tidbit of knowledge to know how bad the toilet stinks

I'm not saying that defeat is the option

But sometimes you gotta knock if you want in

 

Knock, knock, knock...no ones home

Knock, knock, knock... no ones home, for you no more

  

Dirty come the deeds that we do dependently

Life ain't a fairy tale, this ain't serendipity

A forest planted too thick, how did we ever expect to see

Beyond the cluster that this paper makes for you and me

We could climb tall trees until there's no more sky

But could it ever be enough to satisfy dead eyes

Fire fuels the greed, fooled into lust

Why is it so easy to love, but so hard to trust

A rubber tire only stays round for so long

The road wears and tares until the true shape is gone

Sometimes no matter how hard a man tries not to fight

It ends with two crossed swords in the dead of night

 

Knock, knock, knock...no ones home

Knock, knock, knock... no ones home, for you no more

 

The light burned blue on her little pale face

Addicted to the heat, omitting with no trace

Never one to be static, toes not known to grace the same space

She stretched herself so thin she no longer had a waist

But needy girls are never satisfied with just one man

Ears perked up for the ring,  telephone glued in hand

Sending secret text messages to one then the other

An under cover lover under far too many covers

I guess you gotta learn to move quick before the guns inevitable bang

Every day has a number, every bullet a name

Insurance could have had your back if you had ever filed the claim

The mailman won this battle, the guard dogs been maimed

 

Knock, knock, knock...no ones home

Knock, knock, knock... no ones home, for you no more
