knocked, I knocked,
By Thunder eyes
(Introduction)
knocked, I knocked, I knocked again

## **Verse 1**
Troubled times, we were talking before
Back and forth like it meant something more
Felt like there was something there
Something real, something rare
Every word felt like it had weight
Like we were standing at the edge of fate
But I didn’t see it slipping away
Didn’t know it would end that day
Then you left like you didn’t care
No warning signs, no breath of air
Just a moment with no way to explain”
A missing piece I couldn’t regain
Didn’t know why, didn’t know how
What did I do to lose you now?
No reasons given, no signs, no clues
Just empty space where I stood with you
I kept replaying every line
Trying to see where I crossed that line
Holding on to what we had
Even when it turned so bad
---
## **Pre-Chorus**
Somewhere we used to have lines
Somewhere we understood the signs
Somewhere you knew what they meant
Somewhere they started to bend
Somewhere we used to have lines
Somewhere you broke them in time
Somewhere we both felt the cost
But now that place feels lost
But now that place feels lost
Now all that’s left
Is a knocking sound
---
## **CHORUS**
I knocked, I knocked, I knocked again
No answer coming through the end
I knocked, I knocked, I won’t give in
Just empty walls and paper skin
I keep on knocking, hear the sound
In a place where lost words drown”
But all I find when I reach inside
Is a hollow place where time can hide
Now it’s just a knocking sound…
---
## **Verse 2**
Trouble, oh trouble, the way I reacted
Lost in my mind, everything felt trapped in
Anxiety taking control of me
Couldn’t tell anyone what I couldn’t see
The person I needed most was gone
Still I tried to carry on
Tried to find the courage again
To knock that door, to make amends
But she didn’t want it, she left the line
Closed that space, drew it in time
So I kept knocking, but nothing came back
Only space where I was meant to stand”
Nothing but ghosts in the empty air
No answer waiting anywhere
So I hold that line inside of me
To learn from it and set it free
---
## **Pre-Chorus**
Somewhere we used to have lines
Somewhere we understood the signs
Somewhere you knew what they meant
Somewhere they started to bend
Somewhere we used to have lines
Somewhere you broke them in time
Somewhere we both felt the cost
But now that place feels lost
Now all that’s left
Is a knocking sound
---
## **CHORUS**
I knocked, I knocked, I knocked again
No answer coming through the end
I knocked, I knocked, I won’t give in
Just empty walls and paper skin
I keep on knocking, hear the sound
In a place where lost words drown”
But all I find when I reach inside
Is a hollow place where time can hide
Now it’s just a knocking sound…
---
## **Bridge**
We all have lines that we must not cross
We all have lines we learn from loss
But if a line don’t feel straight, don’t feel right
Where do you begin, where do you decide?
If somebody crosses your line
How do you feel in that moment in time?
How do you stand when it breaks in two
When what they did comes back on you?
We all draw lines just to survive
But what do you do when they don’t feel alive?
Somewhere, somehow, you dropped the line
Somewhere, somehow, I fracture in time
Somewhere, somehow, you cut the thread
Somewhere, somehow, nothing gets fixed instead.
## **Final Chorus**
I knocked, I knocked, I knocked again
No answer coming through the end
I knocked, I knocked, I won’t give in
Just empty walls and paper skin
I keep on knocking, hear the sound
In a place where lost words drown”
But all I find when I reach inside
Is a hollow place where time can hide
Now it’s just a knocking sound…
