[Verse 1] Deep beneath Mount Orimar Halum found a marble hall A thousand doors stood waiting With his name upon them all Behind one, he was a father Behind one, a wandering king One held quiet years of farming One a life devoted to singing [Chorus] Every door I open Leaves a thousand closed behind Every life I choose to live Kills another in my mind Oh, the roads left never traveled Still can haunt the road I'm on But I cannot live forever Trying everything I want [Verse 2] He saw himself beloved By people he had never met He saw victories never fought for And mistakes he'd never regret Then the keeper of the hallway Said, "Choose any life you please" Halum looked along the endless doors Then quietly turned to leave [Bridge] "I already chose a story. It is flawed, but it is mine. I will mourn the lives I never lived Without abandoning this time." [Outro] Behind him stood infinity. Ahead, one narrow road. Halum chose the road.
