Open Door - Mike Shinoda

Open Door - Mike Shinoda Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, they tell you that you should quit trying
You are too small, that you are too young
They tell you the chance is too slim
The world is too big, but you say, "how come?"
I'm ready to light a new fire
Raise a new flag, to cross a new sea
And if I'm ever the one in your way
Then put your head down and run right through me

[Pre-Chorus]
So why keep settling for so much less?
Don't take what's given, just demand what's next

[Chorus]
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn't see coming
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
No, no, we'll never stop running

[Verse 2]
There's some like a shadow in a valley colossal
Open up your eyes, young one and be watchful
Behind closed doors, trying to write a new gospel
They are not God, they're not even apostles
I come with the gum drum, banging you breathless
Enemies freeze, left then in defenseless
Straight for the chest of anybody against us
The more they resist it, the more that they tempt us

[Pre-Chorus]
So why keep settling for so much less?
Don't take what’s given, just demand what’s next

[Chorus]
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn't see coming
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
Take off and never stop running

[Interlude]
(No, no, we'll never stop running)
(No, no, we'll never stop running)
(When we get that open door)
(Open door, open door)

[Pre-Chorus]
So why keep settling for so much less?
Don't take what's given, just demand what's next

[Chorus]
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn't see coming
We're looking for an open door
Something we didn't see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
Take off and never stop running

[Outro]
No, no, we'll never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
When we get that open door
No, no, no, never stop running
No, no, no, never stop running
No, no, no, never stop running
When we get that open door
No, no, no, never stop running
