Julien Baker
The Woodpile/Red Door
[Intro]
Far from the electric floor
Removed from the red meat market
I look for a fire door
An escape from the drums and barking
Bereft of all social charms
Struck dumb by the hand of fear
I fall into the corner’s arms
The same way that I've done for years

'Cause I'm trapped in a collapsing building
Will you come back to my corner?
Spent too long alone tonight
Would you come brighten my corner?
A lit torch to the woodpile (aye)
Would you come back to my corner?
Spent too long alone tonight
Would you come brighten my cornеr?
A lit torch to the woodpile

[Verse 1]
Gonna break your hand
Don't tеll me not to fight anymore
'Cause I feel yellow as a coward
Pale as a flickering bulb
Outside of a liquor store
So knock me out again
And I count backwards from ten
As I relay the colors as they appear to me
From the bottom of a cement floor
[Chorus]
And do you see me?
'Cause, oh, how far do you think I can go beneath
Before you won't follow me there?

[Verse 2]
You don't understand
I know the last time I swore
Not to make a scene and now
I'm wandering into traffic screaming
To set me on fire in the middle of the street
Bend my knees and paint the concrete
The color of my bloody knuckles
Pulling splinters from the chapel door

[Chorus]
And do you see me anymore?
Oh, how far do you think I can go beneath
Before you won't follow down
To the center of a black hole?
A ruined sinner and a wasted soul

[Outro]
And, God, I want you to break my heart
Let you break my heart
I wanna let you break my heart
I wanna let you break me
