about

This song is a rather personal track I wrote after a traumatic relationship event. When someone asks for advice over and over again, but things never change because they don't have the drive to enact the changes they want in their life it's really frustrating. Sometimes they will ask over and over as if they think the solution is going to change. I can't live someone else's life for them, and so I offer what advice I can, but in the end it's up to the listener to follow through or not.

lyrics

[Verse]

You come to me with your bleeding heart

And a dream juxtaposed against your fear, self-loathing, self-hating, your self-depriciating.

[Chorus]

Strip me down and you'll find the scars.

Take my name away and examine my heart.

Maybe if you harvest my mind you'll find what your looking for.

I can only show you the door...

I can only show you the door...

(and what secrets lie within)


I can only show you the door...

( but you've got to go through it)


I can only show you the door...
(and what secrets lie within)


I can only show you the door...
(I could tell you the truth, but you've got to believe it)

[Chorus]
I don't have an answer

If I tried it might only bring disaster

You are the master of your own life


[Verse]

Come to me with your bleeding heart

And a dream juxtaposed against your fear, and self-loathing, self-hating, and self-depriciating.


[Bridge]

Strip me down and you'll find the scars.

Take my name away and examine my heart.

Maybe if you harvest my mind you'll find what your looking for.

I can only show you the door.


[Chorus]

I don't have an answer

If I tried it might only bring disaster

You are the master of your own life

Of your own life...

[Bridge]

Strip me down and you'll find the scars.

Take my name away and examine my heart.

Maybe if you harvest my mind you'll find what your looking for.


[Outro]

I can only show you the door

I can only show you the door

Strip me down and you'll find the scars

I can only show you the door

You are the Master of your own life

I can only show you the door

Strip me down and you'll find the scars

I can only show you the door

You are the Master
