Yoko Kanno with Seatbelts - Gotta Knock a little harder

Happiness is just a word to me 

And it might of meant a thing or two 

If I had known the difference 

Emptiness, a lonely parody 

And my life, another smokin' gun 

A sign of my indifference 

Always keepin' safe inside 

Where no one ever had a chance 

To penetrate a break in 

Let me tell you some have tried 

But I would slam the door so tight 

That they could never get in 

Kept my cool under a lock and key 

And I never shed a tear 

Another sign of my condition 

Fear of love of bitter vanity 

That kept me on the run 

The main events at my confession 

I kept a chain upon my door 

That would shake the shame of Cain 

Into a blind submission 

The burning ghost without a name 

Was still calling all the same 

But I just wouldn't listen 

The longer I'd stall 

The further I'd crawl 

The further I'd crawl 

The harder I'd fall 

I was crawlin into the fire 

The more that I saw 

The further I'd fall 

The further I'd fall 

The lower I'd crawl 

I kept fallin' into the fire 

Into the fire 

Into the fire 

Suddenly it occurred to me 

The reason for the run and hide 

Had totaled my existence 

Everything left on the other side 

Could never be much worse than this 

But could I go the distance 

I faced the door and all my shame 

Tearin' off each piece of chain 

Until they all were broken 

But no matter how I tried 

The other side was locked so tight 

The doow it wouldn't open 

Gave it all that I got 

And started to knock 

Shouted for someone 

To open the lock 

I just gotta get through the door 

And the more that I knocked 

The hotter I got 

The hotter I got 

The harder I knocked 

I just gotta break through the door 

Gotta knock a little harder 

Gotta knock a little harder 

Gotta knock a little harder 

Break through the door
