about

A sort of goth folk number about the effort to keep a low profile while navigating systems one despises.

lyrics

file down the parts that stand out
all that remains is a skeleton key
open any door and invisibly slip inside
discarding all I am to be where I want to be

what was it that I meant to say?
now that I’m here the words just seem to slip away

mingling among the locksmiths
who design gates to keep us all outside
open any door, you can observe the flash of fear
that the rabble might burst in has got them terrified

what was it I came here to do?
though I’m no longer me, sure as hell I won’t be you

I’d like to bite your hand but all my teeth were ground away
still I can let the tigers in
they may not recognize me standing here outside my skin
but I was made to make the door open

I was made to make the door open
