Still Closed Lyrics by Cordelia Cross

[Verse 1]

I reach for you through empty rooms

Your silence hums a quiet gloom

Walls built high, brick by brick

I touch your skin, it doesn’t stick

You smile, but it doesn’t reach

A frozen heart you’ll never teach

I try to break, I try to bend

But some things never learn to mend

[Chorus]

Still closed, still locked away

No light can bend the shades of gray

I knock, I call, I fight, I bleed

But nothing pierces what you need

Still closed, still shut, still gone

Even love can’t linger long

[Verse 2]

I trace the lines you carved in air

A ghost of warmth that isn’t there

Your eyes are doors that never swing

A hollow echo of everything

I give my all, I stretch, I wait

But love can’t force a stubborn gate

You keep the world from getting in

And I’m left outside, worn thin

[Chorus]

Still closed, still locked away

No light can bend the shades of gray

I knock, I call, I fight, I bleed

But nothing pierces what you need

Still closed, still shut, still gone

Even love can’t linger long

[Bridge]

Maybe one day the walls will fall

Maybe one day you’ll hear my call

But until then I know this truth

Some hearts are safe from every proof

[Final Chorus / Outro]

Still closed, still locked away

Even love dies in the shades of gray

I knock, I call, I fight, I bleed

But some hearts keep what they need

Still closed, still shut, still gone

I leave behind what never shone
