Keep the front door locked
Lights out so no one can see me
Or where I've been
I got them all convinced that I'm fine
With no one around me
No one gets in
This hollow shell
This little hell

You took me out of the dark,
But I found my way back again
I'm not doing well
I'm not doing well
Take me out of the dark
And back to the place where I fell
Back with You

Everybody else feels fine
Their lives are so perfect
They have no shame
I'm an open book
Filled with stories about me
That don't mean a thing
In this hollow shell
This little hell

Just let Him in tonight...

Behind the Song:
“Life is always full of ups and downs, and sometimes the downs win. I wrote this song after a lengthy conversation with a friend who was in the lowest state that I had ever seen someone. There came a point when he said, “I don’t think I want to live anymore,” and that is a scary moment. The only one who is big enough to grant life to the lifeless, and pull someone out of the deepest hole, is God Almighty. He is always beside us, knocking at our door, but it is up to us to let Him in.” - Joshua Pearson (Nevertheless)
