Remington Kim - Doors Lyrics

I've walked through doors of faded wood, so tall and grim they stood
Each a promise of a dawn, new day underfoot
But each door lit the shadows, not the golden light I sought
Footprints on an endless roof, each victory dearly bought

So many doors I've passed through, hinges worn by hope and rue
Behind each frame, a room the same and dreams that never grew
No matter how I knock and plead, no matter what I dare
The doors keep closing on me, silence fills the air

I've held the keys of silver, keys that shimmer like stars
Turned them gently in the locks, felt the metal cool and harsh
But the rooms beyond stay silent, curtains drawn against the day
Every hope I harbored tightly in whispers swept away

So many doors I've passed through, hinges worn by hope and rue
Behind each frame, a room the same and dreams that never grew
No matter how I knock and plead, no matter what I dare
The doors keep closing on me, silence fills the air

Sometimes the heart grows weary, dreams like autumn leaves do fall
The corridors get longer, echoes fill the empty halls
I search for just one exit, one open gate to a new start
But every door I push on feels heavier on the heart

So many doors I've traveled, my hands are bruised but push again
Hoping for a different view, a break from all this rain
