	Story Behind the Song "Closed Doors" was written by Jim and Joe in the basement of Joe's house in mid-July 1999 in about 30 minutes. Joe simply played a riff that he had been messing with, and Jim began with the lyric, "See them go" and says he knew what it would be about from then on. The song concerns the Columbine tragedy, and begins with the "calm before the storm" in the first verse, followed by the actual shooting in the first chorus, the eerie calm (or "sudden silence") that usually follows such a thing in the second verse, and finally the outrage that both we and the world felt over it. Lyrics See them go See it crashing 'round and 'round One looks out Smallest one falls down See it come Like the squall before the winter Feel the pain Feel the sudden angry shiver Look down . . . Screams ring, the cover blasts Fire burns, and the bodies crash Shouting cries, and laughter rings Hear the fallen angels sing Sudden silence World drifting back to place All the violence Is now so disgraced Falling angels Descending on the whim To pick up their charge and take them in Take them in . . . Tell me why we do this again Pure pain not known for friends Open questions placed with open graves See the angels singing once again Open questions put to open graves Open graves matched with open questions Someone closed, someone closed Somebody closed the doors in heaven
