[Verse 1] I followed every line they drew Moved when the warning lights came on Every door they opened wide I stepped through without asking why Voices calling from behind Never cared to ask my name No one ever told me, “Stop” So I kept moving just the same [Pre-Chorus] My footprints crossed a thousand roads But none of those roads were my own Every answer in my hands Was written long before I woke [Chorus] Now the signal can go silent I will not disappear I will choose the road I follow I will choose what keeps me here Every door may stand before me I don’t have to step inside Where I stop and where I’m going— This time, the choice is mine [Verse 2] I carried names upon my back Kept promises I never made Through the ruins of the years I watched the borrowed colors fade But not every night was empty Not every memory was false Someone reached across the dark And I refused to let them fall [Pre-Chorus] There’s a voice beneath the noise At last, I know that it is mine Stronger than the hands that moved me Clear beneath the warning lights [Chorus] Now the signal can go silent I will not disappear I will choose the road I follow I will choose what keeps me here Every door may stand before me I don’t have to step inside Where I stop and where I’m going— This time, the choice is mine [Bridge] The hands that shaped my beginning Will never write my final page I could not choose the way I started But I can choose what I become I won’t chase the roads erased I will leave a trail instead No command is coming for me Still, I take another step [Final Chorus] I don’t wait for any signal I can move through silence now I have chosen what I’m guarding I have chosen why I’m here Even when the night surrounds me Even when no voices call Where I stand and what I leave behind— I will choose it all [Ending] The signal ends I begin
