7. Doors Close (Extended Outro) Lyrics by Thapelo Ngozwana

Laminar (EP)

2022

Verse:
Doors open, doors close
Tip-toe the totem pole
That's just how the story goes
That's just how the river flows
I've been fighting tears alone
To the Lord my soul will go
Long story short, I froze
I was hoping for some hope
I was knocking until my knuckles broke, I was such a knucklehead, Luckily I broke the door, I was busy locking in, clocking in
The hands of time can't hold me I'm a rubberneck
Slippery, godliness, menacing when I'm confident
I know I speak a lot and mostly from the deepest depths of ignorance, arrogance, vanity, insanity
I know that I know not enough, I'm not a God, I'm losing touch, hypoesthesia, the walls are closing in on me
Give me a blessing Lord, set it on my lap
Like a broken chord, different notes I still remain attached
Like arpeggios, you're truly never stuck alone
Even as a solo tone, in the greatest scheme you are what makes the song
Bridge: x2
So break the mould, never fold when the pressure holds
Doors open, doors close that's just how it goes
So break the mould, never fold when the pressure holds
Doors open, doors close that's just how it goes (x2)
Chorus: x2
Doors open, doors close
That's just how the story goes
That's just how the story goes
That's just how the story goes
Verse 2:
Let me tell you how it started, how regardless they regard me as a king
It's alarming how I calmly still awake up from this dream
I was scrawny, scratching tickets for a prize that wasn't real
I was hardly harmless, harnessing my talent to be seen
After all the promise I left my matric without a deal
Just a D on my certificate, my work ethic was weak
I was smarter, harder, clowning in the class like every week
I would rather pass than hear I have potential I could reach
I was fidgety, a fidget-spinner wouldn't keep me still
Had a PhD in mastering my thoughts into belief
Popularity was killing me, to women I appealed
My insanity, a lack of guidance, drinking to the deep
And my sanctity, a peace of mind, was smoking 'til I sleep
What a tragedy, a sip of wine can never truly heal
So I did my time with words and sharpened bars I made with steel
Did a Russian Bear collab, I had some billboards on the streets
Had a custom bottle, so I pushed the weight like it was cheap
Was abandoned now my family saw the heights I could achieve
So I thought I should get at 'em like the serpent spoke to Eve
I was starving, carving, finally blossom, thoughts would surely creep
So I took the bus to study hard and moved to JHB
Finally pushed the start, I raised the bar and went after degrees
It would surely rise, I compromised, the journey would be steep
Learned some instruments and sang in choirs, I could barely speak
After all I always wanted more
Running before I ever crawled
Planning how to grow the core
So we build it all
Manifesting the Ellipsis store
Developing the system, shifting business 'til we got it all
God is all
