David Wilcox - Outside Door lyrics

My movie house it holds me prisoner All boarded up on a dead end street In my darkest doubts I'm the only visitor Sunk down inside those dusty seats This world of mine in two dimensions It shocks my brain with all I feel That flickering lie will build the tension And I brace for pain like it was real I can't stop the scene from playing Trying ain't worth dying for It won't change, but I'm not staying I just found the outside door The old film that rolls, I know the story For all my years it's been the same I'll see my old moment of glory Fall to my fear and find my shame It leaves my heart empty and shallow No happy end and no relief In that endless dark my cave of shadows I still suspend my disbelief Standing in the morning wonder Never seen the sun before Broke the spell that I was under I just found the outside door There's no silver screen no satin curtain My state of mind plays this whole show The illusion seems to be so certain That I'm trapped inside with nowhere to go Inside my war with dark projection I try to scream but have no voice There is a door an outside exit We can be free we have a choice
