[Verse 1]
Didn't know I needed
Chaos knocking in
Didn't know I wanted
Or I needed this

[Verse 2]
But here it is
Knocking again, heart pounding like drums, feel it crawling under skin
Caught in between silent screams and thunder
A heart split in two, lost deep in the wonder
Fears holding tight, hope whispers through doubt
One breath pulls me in, one's pushing me out

[Chorus]
Life is knocking, kicking doors
Lock the door or let it in
Play it safe or rise and start living

[Verse 3]
one is safe, others full of doubt and suffering
one you might as well be dead
Two roads, now tell me, sink or swim, the choice is in your hands

[Verse 4]
It's knocking loud, fist banging tight
Laws racing crazy, sleepless night
Fear in the doorway holding me back
My stuck in rewind, tripping over the track
Hope whispering stay, but I'm losing my mind
How many times can I rewind, hit pause, press decline
Yeah, I've been burned, pushed to the side, burned
But still I yearn, will I ever learn
But my old mind, now the tables turn
Like love, happiness, right outside the door
So why am I feeling so helpless
Like a crumpled mess on the floor

[Chorus]
Life is knocking, caught in between silent screams and thunder
A heart split in two, lost deep in the wonder
Fears holding tight, hope whispers through doubt
One breath pulls me in, one's pushing me out
Life is knocking, kicking doors
Lock the door or let it in
Play it safe or rise and start living

[Verse 5]
one is safe, others full of doubt and suffering
one you might as well be dead
Two roads, now tell me, sink or swim, the choice is in your hands

[Bridge]
Stand up, take a shot if you want
No one else will, so why not stand up
Yeah, right
Knees shaking, can't move, I can't trust my mind
Too many times tripped, hope feels heavy, dreams tangled in fear
One step to freedom, one step within
I don't know what's next, I hear the laughter, I see the light
I hear my soul say there's something more
I don't want it to be what if, but I'm scared to want

[outro]
One cannot be brave without fear
Bravery without fear is just recklessness
Being scared isn't weakness
It's your heart telling you
It may be hard
But everything worth a damn
Is never easily obtained
